Was there ever a time where the Big 8 had no "junta"?  Even in the 1980s 
news sites would ignore control messages that didn't originate from the 
backbone admins, and the backbone admins wouldn't issue control messages 
to create groups unless a proponent demonstrated that a proper community 
consultation and vote had taken place.

Tristan
