Past experience has shown that this DOESN'T WORK. We've tried it a number of times, with net.women.only (the failure of which was directly responsible for the start of the very successful feminist mailing list) and net.astro.expert. In the more modern era, we have comp.unix.wizards vs. comp.unix.questions (the latter was supposed to keep the novices out of the former). In every case it has not worked. Please DON'T create another new newsgroup that has virtually zero chance of accomplishing its intended purpose. --Greg
