Summary: on what basis are alt groups created?

Naturally there is no need for a moderated sf group (or to be more
precise, yet another moderated sf group -- recall we already have
otherrealms and the digest version of sf-lovers).

However, it is not clear to me that it does (or should) matter whether
or not there is a ``need'' for such a group in order for it to be
created in the alt.* groups.

Can any one shead any light on the question of what constitutes
``valid creation of an alt.* group?''
