Discussion about the creation of a new newsgroup should be conducted in
the "net.news.group" newsgroup.  If you are going to continue any
discussion, please at least include the net.news.group audience.

We really don't need an net.insurance.  If you want to talk about
insurance, discuss it in net.consumers or net.misc.  If the volume over
time appears to justify a separate newsgroup, then we can always create
one.

Newsgroups are like marriages.  They're very easy to register, but they
are difficult to get rid of, even when they aren't working the way they
were intended.  We should have a demonstrated need before creating any
new newsgroups.
