Locate the relevant Internet RFC, read it, understand it, and then don't do it! Also, your local ISP may filter out the appropriate control message. (Thank god!) Also, you would only have moderate to slim propagation of the create message, and then only in the alt.* hierarchy. Any attempt to unilaterally create a newsgroup under any other hierarchy will fail unless you follow the correct procedure which involves creating a proposal, a discussion period, and a vote. Finally, do not cross-post to so many unrelated groups! If you had done a net search using any one of several good search engines and some common sense, you'd have found your answer.
