In the Good Old Days of comp.graphics (i.e. before the PC), there was
sufficient research-oriented and programmer-oriented discussion to
support a newsgroup.  In fact, there still is - it's just hard to find
it among all the requests these days.

A separate group for research topics would pick up at least the
existing research discussions in comp.graphics, plus likely lure back
other researchers who have stopped reading because of the current flood
of uninformative requests.
