As I said, when things get serious. Right now I am quite comfortable with them where they are now and I am very happy that I did not try to meld them into some other existing group (.datacomm was suggested but, frankly, it would only make the mix into major confusion). Noise goes way down when the topic is well defined. Apart from one poor guy who decided to use my group as a teseting group for fooling with control messages on world wide distribution and bringing down both european network gateways for a day or two, it has been smooth running. Considering the direction the USENET is going in terms of news a considerable breakup will probably occur sometime in the near future, with appropriate new news-readers to deal with it. There is simply going to be too much traffic in each group. -Matt -- Matthew Dillon dillon@Overload.Berkeley.CA.US 891 Regal Rd. uunet.uu.net!overload!dillon Berkeley, Ca. 94708 USA
