How about creating temporary discussion sub-groups?  For example,
create a 'net.sf-lovers.temp'  (I know, I don't like that name
either; suggestions for a better name are hereby asked for).
When topics like the current Dr-Who topic start getting really
verbose, and annoying to the rest of the discussion group, it
can be proposed that Dr. Who. discussion moves to 'net.sf-lovers.temp'
for the duration of the discussion.  When a temp discussion dies out,
the group is available for the next temp discussion.  If a discussion
lasts a long time (like over two or three months), then there is a
very good rationale for it to have its own permanent newsgroup.
