Based on reading these groups for the past three years, here is what I
see getting posted in each:

comp.sys.dec		PDP-11's, VAXen, DECstations running anything
			excpet VMS (although some VMS questions do get
			posted here).

comp.sys.dec.micro	Rainbows, PRO's, VAXmates and DECmates.  90%
			is Rainbow.

However, the PRO is really a PDP-11, so there can be some cross over
in the postings.  Your best bet if you want to sell Q-Bus stuff is to
post to comp.sys.dec and misc.forsale.  However, if you post in c.s.d
a lot (with the same add), people will likely flame you because
technically you are not supposed to use USENET groups to post for sale
things to (these are due to government requirements mostly).  Groups
like misc.forsale are the best place to put adds, since it enables
those sites that are required by law to NOT carry advertisements to
comply with the law.

Personally, I don't care about these postings.  I have your subject
in my kill file anyway. :-)
