[ Eliot worries about a stampede ]

Are you worried about creating groups in the wrong top-level hierarchy
(i.e. sci vs. soc) or in the wrong second-level hierarchy (like
comp.sys vs comp.soft-sys) ?  Or both, I suppose.  

If there were good descriptions of the existing hierarchies,
especially the more convoluted ones, it would probably generate
both ideas for new groups and a more clear sense of where new
groups would fit in.
