I would think so.  But rules is rules.

Question, how was the "100" votes decided on?  Did the committee of "Secret 
Masters of Usenet" get together in a meeting room?  Is it in a regulation for 
local groups passed down from the Nation Space and Science Foundation?   Did 
somebody throw out the number and nobody objected?  Is that how many votes 
az.general got and it's now precedent?  Or do the AZ servers not want any more 
groups and this is the way to stop them?  It certainly isn't indicative of a 
population percentage of the international 150 votes.
