Aren't there enough newsgroups for now? There are so many of them...  :-)

If there is call for a newsgroup, then why not create it.  That's the whole
reason for having discussion and voting.  As for questions, that's
what comp.unix.QUESTIONS is for.  People there will be able to, at
least, tell a confused user where to send followups.
