We don't want to put a newsgroup under comp.software-eng just because the discipline of software engineering is a tool used by people involved in the given subject. Rather, a group belongs under comp.software-eng if it is a *part* or *aspect* of software engineering. So I would favor only: comp.object --> comp.software-eng.object comp.software-eng --> comp.software-eng.misc comp.specifications --> comp.software-eng.specifications -- Brand X Industries Custodial, Refurbishing and Containment Service: When You Never, Ever Want To See It Again [tm] Chip Salzenberg ,
