  Let's not make any rash assumptions that this is going to pass.
Actually renaming a group seems like a good way to kill it in general,
like mod.gourmet (or whatever it was called).

  This seems like a lot of work, time to generate propigation, etc. If
the group was grossly misnamed I could really be in favor of it, but
it's more "out of style" than in the wrong place.

  You will also need a discussion group.

  I'm not sure I sense any groundswell for doing this, perhaps it was
just a moment's thought. I'd rather think about comp.os.msdos.doc (mod)
where some of the useful doumentation could be posted.
