One more person cries out for sanity.  

The HP48 is transient.  The reason there isn't a rec.arts.sflovers.total.recall
is that "Total Recall" was transient.  The reason there isn't a 
comp.sys.mac.energizer.bunny is that the Energizer Bunny was transient.
So is the issue of a 32 bit clean ROM upgrade for the SE/30 (I hope, I hope).
Granted, the lifespan of interest in the HP48 is longer than for any Arnie
movie; it's still too short a time, for too small an audience, to justify
a separate newsgroup, judged by the standards of other newsgroups.

One person complains he's tired of pushing the "n" key.  One wonders whether he
also advocates the total revamping of the New York Times on the grounds that
he doesn't want to read every article in the paper and is tired of flipping
pages.  

Me, I'm tired of these half-a**ed attempts to rearrange the heirarchy.
