More on my idea:

	I do not advocate central control exactly, but rather
	a panel of people to set some reasonable policies.
	The duties of the panel would be basically decide on
	the names of newsgroups and if there is a demand.
	Since they would be elected my a majority, I am sure
	that most of us would follow their decisions. They
	would be people that we all knew and respect, such
	as Mark Horton.  I am sure most of us would agree
	that persons of this class would have better ideas 
	about which newsgroups should exists than first time
	users.  Is there anybody out there who would not
	respect Mark Horton's opinion?  I personally feel
	that what he has done for the net is a great service
	to ALL of us.  If he said that 'net.trivia' should
	not exists, I would not dismiss this as a stupid
	idea.

	Note that I have used Mark's name without his
	consent, not to suggest that he be on such a panel,
	but to show the class of person which would occupy
	the panel.
