I think "new" or "trial" would be much more appropriate... That way, people would understand that we weren't about to promote alt.drugs to the "real groups". Also, it would: help us keep track of what was being suggested, allow us to not recieve, as a whole, the "suggested groups" hierarchy, and maybe, just maybe, make things work better as a whole. (Would we then have, also, an "old." hierarchy for groups that are about to be shut down? :-) -- Skate UNIX or go home, boogie boy... "But why should I type "rm -r $HOME" if I want to play trek???"
