Other news groups have been created as the result of some conference
or other.  Why can it apparently only be US conferences/meetings?  Or
can only world groups be created in the US?

The name should most definitely NOT be net.unix.internat, or something
like that.  These problems cover a much wider range than just unix.
Unless of course you believe that unix is everything. :-)

Moderated?!  How can you discuss moderating a very reasonable group
and at the same time allow all the junk that's on the net to go
un-moderated?  I'm not interested in a dinette set in New Jersey
(whatever a dinette set is). :-)
