In that case, I'm afraid it would sood degenerate into something like
"comp.os.msdos.apps.wp-wars".  In some cases, the number of users of a
special product makes it sensible for them to have a newsgroup of their
own (the HP48sx or gnu-emacs come to mind).  I don't know if this is
the case for WP, but it would be much better to have a "private" group,
if any.
