I think that net.cse.cai is a rather poor idea.  (I also don't recall seeing
it discussed beforehand, but might have missed it.)  As I recall, net.cse
was created for discussions on Computer Science Education, interpreted as
teaching Computer Science, not teaching \using/ computers.

Currently, of course, net.cse has been turned into yet another flamegroup
after Adam Buchsbaum (mistakenly, in my opinion) moved discussion on
education \in general/ into it.  Still, this seems no reason to further
downgrade net.cse into a catchall for educational topics by the creation of
net.cse.cai.
