This is probably the silliest example I've seen used in a while.  I
guess that Chuq forgot that net.wobegon was created, what, some five
years ago.  Really a relevant point.  The net was much smaller, the
number of existing newsgroups was much smaller, and the number of
newsgroup creation rules was close to, if not equal to, zero.

Should we chalk this fatuous argument up to desperation, Chuq?
