Hi!

Could anyone fill me in on how to start a new newsgroup?

One of my ideas was to start a discussion group on articles and letters in
Melbourne newspaper 'The Age' - opinions on news and current affairs. The
letters column in The Age only publishes about 10 each day - perhaps the
other 50,000 readers might want a separate forum? (Tentative name
suggestion: aus.talk.theage)

Another idea was to start a group collecting and discussing famous sayings
and quotes; perhaps rec.arts.prose.quotes? Suggestions welcome!

If you can help, or are interested in my ideas, please e-mail me.

Why not just use this newsgroup?  It isn't exactly overloaded.
