Well, not really another idea, but just a reminder:  There are a lot of us
who do not have access to USENET and are having all of the articles that
are posted to comp.windows.x mailed to us via xpert.  Unless you have someone
willing to do the same kind of thing for each new group created, a lot of us
may get lost in the shuffle and will have no access to anything.  Right now,
I am on the xpert mailing list and I'm on Heather Rose's xview mailing list.
To me it seems most of the xview discussion has already moved off of xpert
to the xview list.  I just want to make sure I'm going to keep getting the
stuff I want to see, even if I do have to wade through a lot of stuff that
is of no interest to me.  Anybody else feel the same way?
