	Would there be any interest in a "Product Review" newsgroup?  I
thinking of a group where two basic types of messages could be posted:

	A) I just bought a "XXX" and I think it's _____.
			-or-
	B) I'm thinking of buying a "ZZZ" does anybody have any
	   recommendations.

	I would like the reviews to be NOT limited to computer related items. 
Instead, all household, garden, automotive, etc.  In otherwords everything
that comes to mind.

	I know that product "advertising" has been discussed on the net
before, so it might get touchy if a producer of a product tried to "hype" his
own stuff.  (Although I personally wouldn't mind if they REPLIED to a query.)


	What do you think net-land??  Is there enough interest?  What would a
good name be?  Most of the names I can think of are far too long (I don't want
to TYPE that many characters!)  "net.review" might be good, but I wish it said
something about being "product" related.  Ideas ????
