Are they not able to create a group at the root level of a group that has sub

The newsgroup comp.sys.ibm.pc.games already exists.  Officially it was
retired when it was spiit into a number of subgroups like this one, but in
reality you can't delete a newsgroup.  While it would make a lot of sense
to merge the subgroups back into one group, that's not really possible.
People will still continue to post to .action regardless of what control
messages go out.

You just have to accept that comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action is the defacto
reunified comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.  (I voted against the split that created
the subgroups, and while it's not the one I wanted, I do consider this
outcome a vindication.)
