The comp.text hierarchy already exists and tex fits in it nicely.
There is no namespace need for a second-level TeX group.  Five
characters is not a suitable reason.  If the group is to be created it
should be as comp.text.tex.  Capitalisation is not suggested because
of the problems various extant news software has with case-sensitivity.
