I'll rephrase my question:  now that Peter's new vote-taking scheme 
has been declared legitimate, does this mean anyone can call for a 
similar vote to create a complimentary but not overlapping copy of 
any other duly-elected newsgroup?  

Please note:  I am -not- asking a specific question about .aquaria 
per se.  I would simply like to know, now that Peter has added this 
exciting new dimension to the newgroup creation guidelines, whether 
this process can be used to create similar groups.  And I assume 
everyone else is also free to ignore the discussion period just as 
Peter did?
