Adam, scole doesn't owe you anything.  Overcoming ignorance and
apathy isn't his job.  Unless you have some official position as an
administrator for the free.* hierarchy, I suggest you give it a rest.

Take a look at the list of existing groups under free.*.
The addition of free.3d-printing (which does have some topical
traffic, and no spam as far as I can tell) is hardly a pollutant
in an existing pure environment.  There were 1284 free.* newsgroups
visible on ES; there are now 1285.  Tilt at some other windmill.
