It certainly seemed that there was enough interest to me!
There were several affirmative postings to the net.
(And let this count as another one!)

One upshot of this is, though. that I don't have the first
idea HOW a news group gets 'officially' formed.  Where's the
locus of responsibility?  Everybody's posting items like:
"Yes, I fully support the idea of newsgroup X", but nothing
gets done about it, either affirmatively or negatively.
(I think I was snoozing when 'net.women.only' was born
full grown from the head of Athena, so I can't use that
group as an example.)

Soooo....

	1.) What is the status of net.micro.6809
	2.) How do newsgroups become officially sanctioned?

Thanks,
