Big-8 newsgroup creation policies didn't stop somebody from simply
gating the mailing lists into Usenet already. (And, one imagines,
sending out illegitimate newgroup control messages.) Big-8 newsgroup
policy didn't stop irresponsible Usenet news providers from carrying
those illegitimate groups. Why stand on ceremony now?
