Fine.  So post a Call for Discussion, etc. --- don't just bitch at the
newsgroup/mailing list because you don't like its name.  There are procedures
in place for renaming newsgroups.

And move the !@#$%^&* meta-discussion to news.groups so the rest of us can get
back to what we (i.e. everyone except you) read this newsgroup for.
