The problem is not one of creating and propogating ug.groups, *it is the problem of creating ANY.groups that don't already exist.* A major thing that makes netnews easy to use, is the fact that anyone can create a new newsgroup that goes everywhere. It is real easy to ignore the FEW newsgroups you want to ignore by name. But propogating groups with new rootnames is gonna be a major hassle with netnews in its current state. If this problem is not addressed, THE UNDERGROUND (that's us) is going to have to respond by creating net.ug.groups.
