[....I'll never participate in comp.hypercube....]

I'm the moderator of comp.hypercube.

The combination comes from many considerations.  When, and if, it
becomes necessary to propagate a new newsgroup we can do it.  Consider
the following, however. 

	* At this time, the major interconnection available
	to a very wide diversity of groups is the hypercube - the Connection
	machine all the way down to the 2-cube.

	* Problems which arise in parallelism are probably independent
	of interconnection methodology - thereby one can profit from the
	lessons learned on a particular connection scheme.

	* Secondly, nobody seems to know everything.  Thus, comp.hypercube
	is a meeting place for engineers, (theoretical) computer scientists,
	language people, etc.

I'm sorry you feel the necessity to not participate because of a name.
