The plague of pornography debate articles seems to be spreading through the
net  like  a  cancer.  I  know  of  at  least  four  news  groups  affected
(net.women, net.politics, net.books, net.followup).  The net.books  readers
in  particular have been protesting the usurping of their group by the porn
arguments.  If I wanted to post something on pornography, I  wouldn't  know
which group to put it in (/dev/null comes to mind ...).

I think these are the circumstances everyone cites as justification  for  a
new  group.  So,  how about creating net.pornography ... er ... well ...  I
guess we shouldn't call it that,  actually.  Make  that  net.1st.amendment.
(Now, I suppose, the gun nuts will want net.2nd.amendment.  Oh well.)
