Nobody is "crashing into an existing group".  A handful of users have
tried to post to comp.lang.c++ using Google Groups (which *should* work)
and have had their articles show up in comp.lang.c due to a recently
introduced bug in Google Groups.  (I *think* it affects only original
posts, not followups; can anyone confirm or deny that?)

I've reported the bug, but I'm not optimistic about it being fixed any
time soon.

Creating a new group, either in Usenet or in Google Groups, is not a
solution to any of this.

Until the bug is fixed, we can just tell users about the problem and
advise them to avoid using Google Groups to make new posts to
comp.lang.c++.

Perhaps someone could write a paragraph briefly describing the problem
and potential workarounds, and post it (just once if possible) in
response to any future incorrect posts.  I might do so myself.  Anyone
who sees a new misposted article could just copy-and-paste that
paragraph into a followup and redirect followups to comp.lang.c++.
I'm open to other suggestions, but I don't think we need a lengthy
thread on the subject.
