Since the only remaining objections to forming a statistics newsgroup seem to be about its name, I've created net.math.stat, since that name seemed to be preferred by most of the people who expressed a choice. Adam's comments about creating top-level groups are reasonable. The structure of newsgroups has been rather haphazard over the past 4 years, because nobody really expected that the net would grow this large. The newsgroup tree should really be redesigned. I hope you folks at USENIX can make some progress toward this. Mark
