I doubt it. You're missing one hugely important reason for the structuring of the USEnet newsgroups: To permit individuals or sites to select the set of traffic that they are interested in or permitted to provide. I know there are sites that only support the technical newsgroups. They have chosen to do so deliberately, and it is not for you to decide to foist unwanted categories of traffic onto them.
