	Apparently, there are still news programs out there that will
not handle a news group that needs > 14 characters significance, such as
net.micro.apple.mac.  Since the control message to create this group didn't
make it very far anyway (is there some connection here?), it would be
possible to kill net.micro.apple.mac and create net.micro.mac instead.
I would rather not do this, but a significant fraction of news sites would
not handle the longer name (at least it's better than 6 character names,
case indistinct :-)  What is the consensus?
