How many "groups" do you need to form a new newsgroup? Why isn't
one sufficient, if it's large enough?
And, if it's an attempt to shield people from criticism, it's going
to be woefully inadequate. We're not allowed to reject posts
on the basis of content, so we won't be able to prevent criticism
from being posted.

No, of course it doesn't. That's because that's not the reason the
group is being formed. Do you have any evidence that you've read
the RFD?
