|Indeed.  I have just the opposite problem.  I'm only interested in GNU
|articles here.  My KILL file gets most of the irrelevant ones:
|
|  /uEmacs/:j
|  /microEMACS/:j
|  /jove/:j


O.K.   We've heard several sides.  I personally care about only GNU emacs,
and I don't mind cross posting with the GNU hierarchy because I remember
what it was like before our site received it.  If you don't like the way
things are, then here's your chance to do something about it.

I am conducting an opinion poll that will last until midnight November
11.

1)  Are you interested in splitting up comp.emacs?  (Yes/No)
	If yes, include how you would split it up *and* what group names
	there should be.
2)  What do you read out of comp.emacs (ie.  what emacs are you interested
	in?)
	For example, I read all the jove and GNU emacs articles but could
	care less about the rest.

If there is sufficient interest, then we take this discussion to news.groups
and do something about it.
