Default Why no RTF newsgroup?

"Chris Shearer Cooper" wrote

Well, it's relevant in that Word uses RTF,
one can generate tables in Word using RTF,
and Microsoft kind of invented it.


I'd presume there's no microsoft.public.word.rtf newsgroup because they
thought there wouldn't be enough posts on the subject to warrant the
overhead or that such posts could/would be handled in another existing
newsgroup.

Also, any discussion of starting a new newsgroup
must, by definition, take place in a newsgroup
that is not the correct newsgroup, yes?


No, as a matter of fact, there are USENET newsgroups for that purpose. The
name(s?) begin with news.groups. You can find links to information on
Newsgroup Creation Policies and to a FAQ at the bottom of the page at
http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php. There are also links to information
on unmanaged hierarchies, such as alt. and rec.
