Since we #already have comp.mail.maps, what's wrong with comp.mail.ps-maps? Basically what's wrong with it is that the maps are about news flow, not mail routing, so comp.mail doesn't really fit. What's wrong with news.lists.maps? (Or even put them in the existing news.lists along with the full Arbitron results). Maybe this newsgroup would be a good try-out for a vote including multiple names (by STV or whatever); I think we all agree that the maps are a Good Thing, and nobody's trying to put them somewhere totally inappropriate, so we might actually be able to have an argument about the best name in the spirit of getting the name most people want, without the usual flamefest. Or am I being naively optimistic in the face of net history :-) In the meantime the maps will stay in their present group (news.misc), so a small delay in making a group for them will not matter too much.
