   Of course, technically, you may create a group, even with a failed votte, but   
   nevertheless, that creates illegal groups. Have a look at the faq in   
   news.groups   
   if you want to know more.   
   There *is* a list of all non-illegal groups, at least for the groups comp,   
   humanities,   
   misc, news, rec, sci, soc and talk.   
   So, while there might be an alt.database.oracle tomorrow, there is no legal   
   comp.databases.oracle.   
      
   Lots of Greetings!
