The problem isn't that the appropriate groups don't already exist
(groups for discussing the various networking systems with which
we deal already do exist).  The problem is that those groups don't (and most
likely won't) exist as mailing lists on the ARPA side.  For that reason,
the ARPA Unix-Wizards discussion tends to include many topics that
would more rightly be put into different groups if they were
submitted from the Usenet side.  There is no simple solution to the
problem--of course people submitting from Usenet should use care
to choose the appropriate group since they have that option.

The confusion is the price we pay (on both sides) for cross-network
links between two dissimilar networks.
