I really wish you would give those of us that don't run an NSP more
information on this, because mostly you've said it's a mess or broken or
wrong without any additional information. Maybe this seems obvious to
you, but it isn't to most of the rest of us.
I'm also trying to figure out which portions of what Marc is doing are at
what level of badness in your opinion. I think they're broken into the
following, but I may be misreading his message.
Not sending mailing list posts to comp.databases.postgresql.*.
Leaving the groups on his server for incoming messages only.
Doing another hierarchy in order to provide groups on his own
server.
Asking if others wish to get that hierarchy.
Possibly confusing the issue if some (but not all) of the groups were
to be voted on and accepted.
