While I do not use a VMS machine (and do not want to!), I can see the need
for newsgroup hierarchies (sp?) to handle VMS, and DEC, and so on.

However, VMS is an operating system.  So is UNIX.  So is MS-DOS.  I don't
think that ANY of these should be top-level groups.

What about comp.vms.*  (which would also be nicely similar to comp.unix.*)

In 1869, the waffle iron was invented, thus solving the annoying tendency of
waffles to wrinkle in the dryer.
