    Size of a related mailing list has absolutely nothing to do with a
UseNet newsgroup, unless, for some reason, that list is gatewayed to the
group. I personally feel that it is great that a number of people in
this group are interested in Prograph, but the simple fact remains that
you can't just start a new newsgroup. And you will never get anywere,
officially, until you can demonstrate that there is sufficient traffic
to warrant a new group. As for why I care, I happen to be a registered
owner of Prograph, although I haven't done anythign with it yet, and I
also happen to have some experience in the newsgroup creation process
that I was trying to share.
