What about doing a Call For Discussion on

"Comp.Sys.NeXT.Junk: The creation of a news group which may or may not fly"

with the proposed charter

"comp.sys.next.junk will be a forum that is completely commercial in
nature, doesn't have a signal limitation on posting content and most
of all will not have a moderator.  To boot, the group will allow
prices, agressive comparisons between product vendors as well as
'come on down' advertisements in Rich Text Format as well as sound
inclusions containing the sexy and slick sales slogans of hot
ladies sitting at a bar in Palo Alto next to a fireplace poking a
pencil into their heads." ;')

I see this as a group which will be the marketing battle ground which
not very many people will be interested in receiving, as well as
some nets not carrying.  When you allow pricing and agressive comparison
(third party or not) you may very well end up making another group
similiar to the hypothetical c.s.n.j.
