Do you believe that this person with lyrix expertise will want to spend the time to to read through all of the technical discussions which would occur in your proposed group comp.unix.sco? Non technical users do not want to read about the operating system either! In the future you should refrain from dragging your version of the opinions of SCO into this discussion. If SCO has anything to say on this subject then the SCO news administrator or some other authorized representative of SCO can tell us how they feel on this subject. Furthermore, if you want this group setup so SCO can support their products, then we are in the wrong section of the network. Vendor sponsored support groups belong in biz.* not in comp.*. -- Buster Irby buster!rli
