There is no conflict between c.u.internals and c.u.wizards. There is overlap, but that doesn't pass the "So What?" test. Let's keep the wizards group and get on with it. Having insight into the arcania of an operating system does not necessarily mean that one has equal insight into network management. Therefore, a call for giving "control" of a slice of the hierarchy to an elect few is illogical and fundamentally flawed. Of course, giving "wizards" (Under the criteria mentioned, I qualify as a wizard!) control could prove entertaining, if you enjoy flame wars. (When Egos Collide ;-). -- Craig E.
