This sounds like a good idea. I would certainly vote for such a news group. Should the name be misc.anonymous or misc.anonymous.messages? Are alt.anonymous and alt.anonymous.messages basically to different newsgroups for exactly the same purpose, or is there some difference between them.
This is what's listed in the newsgroups file: alt.anonymous alt! Who goes there? alt.anonymous.messages An anonymous message pool newgroup, whatever that is. Alt.anonymous is just another content-free, basically dead newsgroup. Alt. anonymous.messages is the group used for message pools. Since the general rule for naming newsgroups is to use dots only for designating a lower group hierarchy. misc.anonymous-messages is probably a better name, since there is no misc.anonymous.* newsgroup hierarchy.
