Sure, why not?  Especially now that ANSI COBOL '85 is starting to get some
widespread use (such as in the form of IBM's COBOL II), COBOL is almost 
turning into a real language.  Although C is my language of choice, I
get my $$$ by programming in COBOL all day, so it would be nice to have
someplace to complain about it.  :-)  I've also bumped into the occassional
bug or unexpected behavior during the switch to COBOL II, so a COBOL 
newsgroup would give us a good place to distribute this type of info.

Best of all, we don't have to argue over the name!  :-)
