	... While it may be a decent idea to organize newsgroups,
	you simply CANNOT rename them.  It doesn't work.  That's a
	proven fact (net.trivia).  Confusion, multiple postings,
	illegitimate groups, etc. all come out of it, and with this
	large a scale involved, the problems would all be multiplied.  

While I'm not claiming this is not true, is this not an assumption?
Have we ever tried major restructuring?  It could be that the larger
scale would make things easier.

(But I doubt it.)
