   Is the name indicative of a change in scope?  That is, does the new
group exist only to discuss microcomputers?  I realize that the renaming
process will not please everybody, but if 'comp.sys.misc' is still 
intended for microcomputer topics only, the name is not at all representative
of the intended contents.  It's bad enough that the group gets a bunch of
non-generic micro postings; now, we'll have to put up with Sperry mainframe
stuff, etc.
