	I suggested forming temp.libya, Mark Horton thought it was a good
idea and proposed making it net.politics.terror, somebody else jumped the
gun and sent out a newgroup message for n.p.t, and then...

	Who said anything about "deligitimizing" the discussion?  Just give
it it's own group.  If anything, that lends a certain air of legitimacy to
it since it shows it's important enough to be recognized.  People like me
who don't want to know about it get to shut it off painlessly.  People who
want to talk about it get a consolidated place to do so.  Neither of us is
right and neither of us is wrong; we just have different interests.  Since
everybody wins, what's the problem?
