This has been suggested in the past. The major problem, as I understand it, is that comp.windows.x is not just comp.windows.x; it is also a mailing list called xpert. - what we have now - many newsgroups, none of them gatewayed with xpert - many newsgroups, one of them gatewayed with xpert ^^^ let this one be comp.windows.x.xpert, containing *ONLY* the xpert mailing list stuff. At least then I don't have to wade through everyone's religious debate about Motif Vs OpenLook etc :-). - many newsgroups, with some person sorting out xpert messages and putting them in the appropriate newsgroup(s)
