I admit that there is a significant overlap between the people
interested in Artificial Intelligence and those interested in the
LISP programming language, but it should be obvious that articles
like "Common LISP style standards" and "LISP for IBM PCs" should
be posted to newgroups other than mod.ai, and such newsgroups do
exist.  This newsgroup has a large amount of traffic, and I expect
that many readers have unsubscribed due to the large amount of
inappropriate submissions.

I would mail this message to individuals who do not realize this,
but there have been so many it would not be effective.  Mostly
this message is to the moderators, who should be enforcing the
focus of the newsgroup.

  [Unfortunately there are few relevant discussion lists on
  the Arpanet side of the gateway.  We do have one on workstations
  and others on particular micros or Lisps, but nothing of the
  required generality.  I will be glad to help anyone who wants
  to start a list devoted to Lisp or any other topic currently
  covered by AIList:
