	What?  Are you kidding?  What ever happened to not creating a
new group unless there was 1) a demonstrable need 2) discussion about it
beforehand in the proper channels and 3) a reasonable likelihood that
the topic of discussion was not transitory?  I eagerly await some net
fascist :-) deciding to send out a rmgroup message.  I would do it
myself but I'm a Democrat.

	Granted, this is better than flooding net.general with jillions
of "Hey, old Coke is back!" postings, but do we really need a whole
new newsgroup for it?

	Why don't we just start a newsgroup of the week club?  Every
week you get sent a newgroup message.  If you don't send back the
rmgroup message by the deadline, you get another group you have to pay
for even though you never really wanted it in the first place.
