Waitwaitwaitwait I *just* noticed I misread that, not noticing you had 
misread my post. Of course it wouldn't be a *newsgroup* per topic. I 
meant a *thread* per topic. Making a "tech support thread" with 
thousands of posts is what web forums do, and wouldn't work on 
newsgroups. Making a "tech support group/forum category" with one thread 
per question is what people should do; and how it works on newsgroups.

When somebody gets a rendering artifact in POV-Ray, he posts a new 
thread on povray.general, like for any other problem. Some web forums 
would have a sticky thread called "Rendering artifacts help" with 
thousands of posts, and asking everybody with an artifact-related 
problem to post there. I think that is a stupid idea.
