As will probably be apparant immediately, net.unix was created with exactly
the same concept as the proposed unix-novices group just 6-8 months
ago. As it is, a lot of the postings go to both groups; this is understand-
able, if not optimal, because its sometimes really hard to guess where
a particular question should go (espacially for a half-wizard like me :-|).
Imagine the traffic with three.

The official descriptions of the two existing groups are:

net.unix		UNIX neophytes group.
net.unix-wizards	Discussions, bug reports, and fixes on and
			for UNIX.  Not for the weak of heart.

If someone is too intimidated to post to net.unix then he has a problem;
if the flame level is anything above zero in net.unix, then the net has
a problem; but we don't need another gradation of problem difficulty to
guess about.
