I'm still unclear on the advantage of placing the 3b1 group under
the .att. group.  If the group ends up comp.sys.3b1 then there's
no problem with compatibility with the future re-organization of
comp.sys.att, right?  I really do believe the Convergent and Motorola
owners will find the group, regardless of it's location, but how do
we settle this group-name thing before a call for votes?
