Look, comp.sys.next should be a technically oriented conference.  There are
few places to get decent NeXT information these days.  Granted, it is fun to
flame about Mac comparisons and NeXT problems, but PLEASE, note them on this
conference and GET OFF IT!

On the topic of splitting up comp.sys.next:  comp.sys.x has had similar
discussions.  The bottom line was that one conference with a wide range
of interest was the ONLY way to keep X and X support going on USENET.  At
least now comp.sys.next gets some NeXT employees online and a few well
educated NeXT third party developers.  If the conference splits up fewer
people will have all the accessable info coming down comp.sys.next.  

Sigh, this means that I will have to still deal with the first problem above.
