Good idea.  Since Brad (perhaps wisely) is ducking (discretion, perhaps,
being the better part of bravado) the discussion of whether he does 
things on their merits or just for the sake of controversy, let us indeed
get back to a fundamental point about the recent discussion of newsgroup
creation:

Just what is *significantly* wrong with the present system that we need
to bureaucratize and oligarchize?  Yes, the current system leads to
some heavy discussions in news.groups.  So?  What's the harm?  

Let's either keep the status quo or make new group creation easier.
We *don't* need to hand it over to a Gang of Five.

Para un Tejas Libre,
