Topics previously covered in c.u.w now seem to be distributed between (at least) internals, programmer, shell, and admin. There seemed to be great unhappiness with the mishmash of stuff in the old group, so why would we want to go back to that? The new organization makes it easier for any given wizard to pick and choose from a menu of wizardly discussions. A wizard who feels uncomfortable discussing internals would have refrained from such discussion in the old c.u.w and will now refrain from such discussions in c.u.i. That still leaves discussions in the other new groups where such a wizard can still be at home. Richard M.
