Ahem.  They did that once.  This is the newsgroup that they made.

It's really quite simple.  People who own pet birds and wish to post
about them can do one of three things

        1) post in rec.pets

        2) post in rec.birds and put "INDOOR" in the subject line,
           keeping the truce that exists in rec.birds

        3) post in rec.birds without the subject line and restart
           the inevitable flame wars
