 In the newsgroup humanities.philosophy.objectivism (which is dedicated 
 to the philosophy of the late author Ayn Rand), some recently pointed 
 out that there are no other newsgroups in the humanities.philsophy 
 hierarchy.  This seems a glaring omission to me, so I am wondering 
 what would be involved in creating the following newsgroups: 
  
 humanities.philosophy.existentialism 
 humanities.philosophy.phenomenology 
 humanities.philosophy.ancientgreek 
 humanities.philosophy.rennaissance 
 humanities.philosophy.enlightenment 
 humanities.philosophy.USAFoundingFathers 
 humanities.philosophy.theology 
 humanities.philosophy.eastasian 
 humanities.philosophy.20thcentury 
 humanities.philosophy.moralissues 
 humanities.philosophy.moralissues.contemporary 
 humanities.philosophy.politicaleconomy 
 humanities.philosophy.war 
 humanities.philosophy.scienceandsociety 
 humanities.philosophy.AnalyticPhilosophyIsCrap 
  (Okay, maybe my biases show with that last one  :-)  ) 
  
 I suppose one might want to add humanities.philsophy.socialism or 
 .marxism, although I'm reluctant, because it's so transparently clear 
 to me that socialism/Marxism is pure garbage (even more so than 
 analytic philosophy as a methodology).  But maybe that would be a good 
 refuge for people who like to discuss pure garbage, and keep it out of 
 the other newsgroups. 
  
 The point is, we really should have these other types of newsgroups 
 for discussing philosophy.  I have neither the time nor expertise to 
 write a FAQ for all of them, though I'd be happy to take a crack at it 
 for: 
 humanities.philosophy.phenomenology 
 humanities.philosophy.USAFoundingFathers 
 humanities.philosophy.theology 
 humanities.philosophy.moralissues 
 humanities.philosophy.moralissues.contemporary 
 humanities.philosophy.theology 
 Of course, I could use some help with some of these -- any volunteers? 
  
 Can someone tell me what I'm supposed to do next?
