It was not, as Jim ADCOCK suggests, because one or the other was not strong enough to stand on its own readership. Rather, it was because many people (a vast majority of those who voted) wanted to share experiences and information between the two groups. Here are some examples where multiple inheritance (for newsgroups) is useful: The problem is, it's not multiple inheritance --- gnu.g++.help is the only superclass of comp.lang.c++. Maybe multiple inheritance is the answer, though: Institute comp.lang.cg++ which inherits from both gnu.g++ and comp.lang.c++. Then everyone would be happy. Or interested readers can simply subscribe to both, which is perhaps easier. -- Harley -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Harley Davis internet: davis@ilog.fr ILOG S.A. uucp: ..!mcvax!inria!ilog!davis 2 Avenue Gallie'ni, BP 85 tel: (33 1) 46 63 66 66 94253 Gentilly Cedex France
