I missed the discussion, so I'll stick in my tuppence now:

1. This group will not divert any significant amount of traffic from the 
   groups that are currently bothered by them.  It will, however, make
   a good crossposting magnet.

2. This group is out of place as a "talk" group -- misc.lists would be a 
   much better name.  (I realize you can't change the name during the vote 
   without causing apoplectic spasms in all net.police.self-appointed,
   but next time give it a thought.)

Perhaps someone who supports the group could explain what good the group
would do, and why "talk" is a reasonable place in the hierarchy.
