Me too.  My present inclination is toward merging unix-pc.* into comp.sys.3b1
and creating an unmoderated comp.sources.3b1.  I can't see that the "3b1" name
is really much of a problem, 'cause those of us presently taking part in this
discussion know what they are, and those folks who don't who stumble on the
newsgroups won't know what they are - which suits me just fine!  As long as
the groups are announced appropriately in the news lists, so that people who
have just acquired UNIX-PCs or who want to hook up with the newsgroups can
find them by grepping for '7300', '3[Bb]1' or UNIXPC', it would all seem to
come out in the wash.  :-)
