There already is. I think the *.test (or at least alt.test) groups have
good propagation. Nobody "reads" anything but their own posts anyway, so
the natives wouldn't be bothered.
There are some "real" (as opposed to usenet posting tests) *.test
newsgroups, so you'd have to be careful about which ones you post to.
