You can't have group names starting with numbers.

With any luck this discussion will just die before anybody actually does 
anything.  IMHO the single most constructive thing that could happen would
be for one of "our" Colberts to go and slap whoever is meant to administer
this list, and get them to put together a decent "welcome" message that
will include posting guidelines, how to search the archives, etc.

And also automagically bounce HTML-posters and digest-quoters.
