Ummm... you seem to have a problem with the way can.* newsgroups get
created. Why raise a stink if you have no desire to create a can.* 
newsgroup then?

What exactly is that conflict?

Take advantage of what?

What?

What kind of change?

Let's get this line of reasoning straight: One this is clear, 
I "might" be part of the problem? It's so clear that
it's only a possibility? What is the problem exactly?
You want to create a newsgroup, go ahead. No one is stopping
you. You want other people to eat up expensive hardware to
propegate your newsgroup, convince them that it's worth
their time.

I fail to see the problem or the politics in that.
