In article <34g02n$mpr@news.ycc.yale.edu> una@doliolum.biology.yale.edu (Una Smith) gibbered like a rabid baboon:
>>If I was a newbie interested in museums I would ignore a

How about *.museums.admin, then? That way I'll be sure not to subscribe.
(I still like rec.buildings.* ).
>>I can see misc.museum (or sci.museum) being a good name, easy to split

The solution to this is to give the newsgroup a hard-to-understand name?
It seems like a better solution would be to hide it in a completely
unexpected place, such as comp.compression.research.museums. Maybe
comp.lang.cobol.museum.

PS:
Oh, since Museums tend to have full-on nappy concrete architecture with
lots of nifty sloped sections, I motion that we consider
alt.skate.museums, or alt.skate.museums.shredding.
