    Even though I work in the field of computer graphics, I have
    thought about unsubscribing to comp.graphics because none of the
    articles are interesting.

    I propose the establish the newsgroup:

    comp.graphics.research

    to re-establish a forum for technical discussions of a research
    nature.

sounds like a good idea to me; i'd vote for it.

    If it isn't moderated, it's a waste of time creating the group; it
    will still be mostly postings from kids wanting help with their
    homework.

kent may have a point here. anybody who has the time interested in
moderating?
