net.* names
I personally prefer the specialized groups.  While we're discussing
this subject, I'd like to see a method established to name a new
newsgroup (if there is one, already, ignore the rest of this message).

If someone wants to start a new newsgroup, he should announce
his intentions over net.news or net.general, suggesting a name.
If there are no complaints after a decent interval (2-3 days?),
that's that.  It's possible that someone would come up with a
better name or point out that such a group already exists with
a different name.
