Always an option. Like I said, a number of people frequent multiple
groups so if you post a question in *.adventure (or wherever) odds are
somebody might answer you.

But the bulk of the active readers are currently here, in *.action.
You'll have more eyes on your message -and more chances of a response
- if you post it here. There just isn't really a large enough
population to support that diversity of newsgroups.

Nonetheless, I again reiterate: if its something you feel strongly
about, you can do it. Post enough messages long enough, and people may
come. But it could take a long time before your efforts pan out.

Personally, I think it seems like a lot of work for no real advantage
(if only because, arguably, *.misc is as bad a location for general
game discussion as *.action) but there's nothing really stopping
anyone from making the attempt.
