   I don't mean to rekindle any flame wars or anything, but why are there
   now TWO groups that carry handy hints, trivia and self-help
   information for various emacs's, but none for vi?

The newsgroup comp.emacs has existed for years and years and has
always been a place for people to discuss emacs in any of its very
large number of incarnations.

The newsgroup gnu.emacs is very recent, gatewayed with the mailing
list info-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu, and specific to development and
availability issues for GNU Emacs.  There is a subgroup gnu.emacs.bugs
where people report on flaws and fixes to GNU Emacs.

I see no reason why there isn't a comp.vi (or, I think more
appropriately, a series comp.editors, comp.editors.emacs,
comp.editors.vi), so I suggest you head for news.groups and suggest
it if you're sufficiently motivated.
