Comp.graphics.experts is, in my opinion, a terrible name. Where do you
think the "how to read mumble format images" notes would get posted - in
plain old c.g? or in c.g.experts, where you can find all the 'experts' on
important graphics issues like the format of [A-Z]IF* files and displaying
them on your VT-100. I still vote for c.g.research, because I think a
word like 'research' in the title makes it a little more clear what the
group is *NOT* about...

And I still vote for moderation.

(only with regard to the proposed newsgroup, though.. ;-) )
