	Look at unix.wizzy. It makes no diff where you post cuz they
	are only names. You might as well flip a coin.

	No, I'd use e-mail.

	Look at the actual traffic in this group. There just isn't
	enough real poop to justify any additional groups. Where are
	you going to put the innumeral "Hey, me too, i'm missing parts
	of ....". Maybe comp.sys.ibm.me.too? Or the stimulating
	and informative comparisons ... "Arc/zoo/blah/blah"? How about
	comp.sys.ibm.re.invent.the.wheel.again.again.again. Or the
	posting where people try to get organized and ask for opinions
	and votes? comp.sys.ibm.waste.of.time.and.space? I think there
	are two natural groups that you've overlooked...

	comp.sys.ibm.flame.city & comp.sys.ibm.bit.bucket
	
	Everything can fit in these easily. If not, use e-mail.
