From alice!alb:

	net.sf-lovers is too long to have subgroups, and Dr. Who
	does not deserve a top level group.

Gee, Adam, it sounds like you have had a lousy week. But don't you think
that you are being a little hasty? Should everybody who reads net.sf-lovers
have to read all this DR Who stuff just because the news software is too
brain-damaged to hack subgroups of any length? Something tells me there is
a false economy there.

Then again, I have never understood the bother of worrying about "whether
to create a newsgroup". I figure that you should create anything that you
want, and then later if it is unused you can go off and remove it. There
must be some good reason why people don't like this solution, since it
never happens, but nobody has ever bothered to tell me...

Cheer up. Have a good week. If you don't like "net.dr-who", how about
"net.tv.dr-who"? Though I can't really see why you need rules as to
what consitutes "big enough to deserve" anyway...
