   Now that alt is here to stay, might I suggest a new newsgroup creation rule:
	   (1) Create the group in "alt".
	   (2) Demonstrate volume and friendliness.
	   (3) Get the *backbone* to vote on admitting it.

The only problem I see is that (2b) would probably cause a retroactive
rmgroup of news.admin and news.groups.
