  It is a good idea.  The problem is how?

  I heard that it will actually take 200 yes votes than no votes.  100 
is for taking comp.sys.apple down, another 100 for the creation
of the "new" group comp.sys.apple2.

  Another problem, what if there is not enough 100 more yes votes to
create c.s.a2 while there is enough yes votes to take c.s.a down...

  Does any one know for sure how to do it?  Has it been done before?
