You have demanded that Eliot explain how your newgroup proposal fails
to follow the guidelines.  He has done that.  The guidelines suggest
posting a CfD to news.announce.newgroups, not comp.unix.wizards or
comp.unix.internals.  Your claims, while possibly true, are irrelevant;
they fail to show how Eliot is wrong.

In fact, Eliot is right.
