No not really.  Why does winehq feel that they can take over a 
usenet group to propigate their posts?  If they want a forum let 
them set up their own.  If they want to tell usenet users of the 
forum let them post a weekly message.  If they want to send their 
responders posts out to the world at least let them know they are 
now posting in usenet.

So this is what usenet needs.  A group that did not have flames 
having flames brought to them by a "private subscription" mailing 
list.
