     In regard to the formation of new newsgroups: Why do some newsgroups
     go through a formal voting procedure and some do not? An example is
     alt.romance. Someone posted that this group would be a good idea and
     then the next day it was on Usenet and people were posting to it. I
     don't remember seeing a vote taken for this group.
