 I guess where I'm having trouble with this is that a reorg would make 2 
 new named groups, and those groups would be entered into the queue. Let's 
 say a reorged rpd to be the new group rec.photo.digital.misc.misc. and 
 rec.photo.equipment.35mm to become rec.photo.equipment.35mm.misc.misc 
 Now there becomes 2 new charters, with new group names to tussle over. 
 Why not  forget about tussling over misc.misc names and just work on the 
 charters? Seems I'm asking to cut the work load,  no?

 Does it *really* need to be done from scratch? 
 Is synergy possible?

 One thing you can guarantee, though: if you don't try, you'll never 
 have to find out it might have succeeded, and you can be very smug 
 about your species' extinction as it is happening: "I _told_ them 
 there was no way to bring peace to this planet!"
