 Then if the territory of the newsgroup is going to be THAT open, 
 it should be in talk.*, not soc.*.

 Emphasis is not possible in an unmoderated newsgroup if the users 
 have other intentions, since no one can dictate the intentions 
 of those users.  The proposed name and what you say the emphasis 
 is both become irrelevant under the expected conditions.  That is, 
 I don't think what you say the emphasis will be is what the 
 users will emphasize, and I don't think they will care if the 
 group is under soc.* or talk.*.  You'll have to somehow prove 
 otherwise, if you can, if you want to convince the doubters, and 
 you should do it before the vote because I think you are facing a 
 few extra NO votes on this and related concerns.

 My standard proposals rant: 
 Quality, usefulness, merit, or non-newsgroups popularity of a topic 
 is more or less irrelevant in creating a new Big-8 newsgroup. 
 Usenet popularity is the primary consideration.
