Where have you been? In my opinion, there is not nearly enough traffic in comp.graphics to justify splitting it. The proper response to stupid format converter requests and other topics covered in the frequently asked questions posting, is to ignore them. Don't post answers. Don't bother replying by email. And most importantly, don't worry about it. Splitting the group would be an attempt to solve the same problem that the f.a.q. posting is already attempting to solve. Admittedly the posting doesn't deter 100% of the morons; what makes you think that splitting the group would do any better? My guess is it would do much worse. --- Jef Jef Poskanzer jef@well.sf.ca.us {ucbvax, apple, hplabs}!well!jef The day after tomorrow is the third day of the rest of your life.
