Every time Karen Valentino posts I respect her more and more.*
Her latest posting, however, also jogged my mind a little.

We don't *need* to limit voting to sysamins -- they have all the
power they need in their authority to decide which groups their
respective sites will and won't accept.

Indeed, the only "problem" with the current system anyone's
been able to posit has been the occasional misnomer --
sci.aquaria as the latest offense.  This doesn't seem to
happen often, but, even if it's a problem grave enough
to warrant change, let it be a change that makes only
misnaming more difficult -- not a change that makes
other group creation harder, and not a change that dilutes
the individual user's input.

*Since her very first posting was strikingly admirable,
 increasing my respect is truly an impressive feat!
