How about a moderated group?  We could call it comp.unix.rtfm.  Not out
of disrespect to the neophytes who don't know what the hell they are doing,
but out of the reality that Unix manuals are cryptic (and I ain't complainin'
'bout it no-how).

Seems someone with heavy USG/BSD experience could answer the questions much
more better for both groups without the `but that don't work in Berzekely
land' flameage.

How about it?  Anyone want to second the motion?
