   How about the following:
    * seattle.admin          Administravia
      seattle.events         Announcements, notices etc.
      seattle.forsale        Items for sale in the area
    * seattle.general        Catchall - general postings
      seattle.politics       Political discussions
      seattle.talk           BBS style chat through a newsgroup
    * seattle.test           Testing with a few scattered auto-reply sites.  

I am very strongly in favor of adding these new groups.

However, it will be hard to distinguish between politcs and talk;
perhaps we should start with just one of those groups.  Also, the uw
events group is called uw.announce; is that the more common naming
convention?
