I would like to propose a new heirarchy: TOPICAL.* The purpose would be for topics that are not of a permanent nature. Of course it's too late now, but some prime examples of a topical group would be: topical.election topical.election.clinton topical.election.perot topical.rodney.king topical.virus.michaelangelo(sp?) topical.hurrricane.andrew topical.recession topical.soviet-union The groups within this heirarchy would last througout the lifetime of the topic itself, and then would be cancelled. Of course, there would have to be new guidelines for proposing a new topic within this heirarchy, as a long voting period would defeat the purpose of 'timely' topical newsgroups. Perhaps a topical.config would be a solution to this, with its own guidelines for creating new groups I would appreciate any comments about this proposal, and would not appreciate flames. :-) P.S. I cross-posted this to alt.config also, as a possible alternative, to make a sub-heirarchy 'alt.topical.*' But I think that it would deserve its own heirarchy.
