It depends on the hierarchy. Some (free.*, alt.* ) are a free for all
and anyone can issue a control message. Whether providers act upon it
is another matter. uk.* is a managed hierarchy (of which I am a
committee member, but anyone can create a group) An RFD is created,
discussed in uk.net.news.config and if there is enough support control
(who is appointed by the elected committee) issues a control message.
Hopefully, news service providers act on it and the group is created.

I'm not much of a drinker and so don't know how much a 5th is..:-} I
suppose it depends on the size of a whole one...

Well you had little choice. :-)
I'm off on holiday fro a week today. Try to manage without me for a
