Summary: Make a comp.unix.uPort newsgroup, DAMMIT!
Xref: mnetor comp.unix.xenix:691 news.admin:973


   I am not interested in uPort information, as I do not make the silly 
mistake of operating on INTEL based pseudo-computers.  I have noted that
>>50% of the articles on this newsgroup are uPort related.  I think it's
wonderful that someone like uPort is creating an operating system with some
usefulness for your pseudo-computers, but *I DON'T WANT TO READ ABOUT IT*!

   I therefore formally propose the formation of comp.unix.uPort, to provide
a forum for the obviously significant audience interested in that topic.  
Given the traffic patterns in comp.unix.xenix for the past few months, I 
see no reason to take a vote.  It seems to me that the group ought simply
to be formed.  In fact, if someone else HASN'T formed it by Sept. 8, I will
take the responsibility for so doing.

   (seriously, I should apologize for my processor bigottry, and I do (sort
    of).  But the uPort people *DO* need their own forum, now.)
