It's not a newsgroup because;

1.) No one has posted a RFD in any of the appropriate groups.

2.) No one has posed a CFV (or indeed volunteered to count those votes)

3.) No one has decided on an appropriate name for the group (should be
pre
RFD)

4.) The Group has not been created.

5.) A group already exists (rec.games.miniatures.misc) that coveres the
same topics.

6.) Don't you think 5 are enough?

Also, some people can't read News, or post to it, as easily as E-mail.
