NO!  Instead, net.startrek should be moved to net.tv.startrek.  Both Dr. Who
and Star Trek are subtopics of "tv", just as Star Wars is a subtopic of
"movies".  Rather than flattening the tree structure of news, we should
put related topics in subtrees.  (See Gene Spafford's proposal in
net.announce for similar reasoning.)
