When the newsgroup reorganization was announced, it seemed to me to be a
fairly good idea.  Breaking down the discussions by topics from the top
down is reasonable.  Unfortunately the implementation of the plan seems to
be going sour.  This is not intended as a flame against anyone or any site,
but who is responsible for sending out the newgroup control messages?  Since
the first couple of newgroup messages from Mark Horton to create several
talk groups, about fifteen or so subgroups in the new talk and soc groups
have had traffic without group creation.  My site is three systems removed
from a backbone (uw-beaver) and there hasn't been significant downtime in
the past three weeks, so I'm wondering what or where the problem is.  Is
this only local to the Pacific Northwest, or have some sites jumped the gun
and created the new groups on their own?
