OK GUYS, can we calm down a bit?
This is beginning to sound like the comp.sys.cdc discussion.
For those relatively new to the net, the ground rules for
the creation of new groups is in a state of flux. Sure, we have
chaos (not the non-linear kind, but maybe), my suggestion is
you read the "news" groups like news.announce.newusers, news.groups,
etc. Those kinds of administrative matters don't belong in the
comp.groups. Okay, we've had enough jumping up and down.
News groups appear to have become more of a status symbol (you are somebody
if your group does not have one). Rather than a specialization mechanism.

Another gross generalization from

resident cynic at the Rock of Ages Home for Retired Hackers:
"You trust the `reply' command with all those different mailers out there?"
"If my mail does not reach you, please accept my apology."
