Jack:
You are some 15 years late with the business purpose rule. Besides, the
non-commercial limitation was imposed on the Internet, never on Usenet.
Would you say that the following groups had absolutely no relationship
with the corresponding company?
comp.databases.oracle.*
comp.dcom.sys.cisco
(and a very long etcetera).
And even:
borland.*.*..
microsoft.*.*..
The newsgroup I am proposing (too bad I don't run newsgroup servers
anymore, or I would create it myself) is alt.satellite.gps.tomtom. Are
you saying that the newsgroup in question wouldn't be in the interest
of TomTom Corp's business? Are you saying that a TomTom techie is
forbidden from creating it?
Additionally, the alt.* hierarchy is devoid of the rules imposed on the
traditional ones.
