Mark, No offense intended, but you already made one mistake by gating these mailing lists into the big-8 hierarchy, then allowing them to be propagated off whatever newserver to which that was done, into the general newsfeed, w/o going through the big-8 newsgroup creation process. Now somebody's trying to fix that by going through the process to legitimize comp.databases.postgresql.*, there is an RFD posted, and you're going to up and create pgsql.*? Did you warn the proponent of comp.databases.postgresql.* that you were going to do this? Did you read any of the arguments for and against a completely separate hierarchy that were posted to the RFD thread in news.groups?
