 I have wanted to suggest this for quite some time,and I am sure others feel
 as Dennis does.. Does anyone want to volunteer to collect votes and move this
 over to news.groups(?) I have often wished the discussions here were more
 technical in nature.The amount of installed base of 3B2/3B5 systems out there
 would seemingly indicate that this is a viable goal.With a little bit of
 organization,this effort should succeed.

 I am sure that we can manage to please both unix pc owners and ourselves with
 this move..

 Does anyone have any negative comments regarding this move(?)

 Let's do it..
