I agree.  Voting doesn't work, because a proposal ALWAYS
gets a certain number of yes votes, and newsgroups created
this way don't always work.  There has got to be a sufficient
interest in a group shown before its creation before a group
is created.  Believe it or not, but when the net was small,
this is how it was done, and it worked.  When people started
voting, it broke down.  So carry out your discussions in
net.auto for a while, and see if there's enough.
