And in addition to the fact that I have one foot in both worlds (so I save
time reading stuff only once), splitting the newsgroups will inevitably lead
to splitting the operating system:  today Minix ST is very much like Minix PC
and I think that is a very GOOD THING.  Some drifting will occur, but a common
newsgroup is valuable glue between the two communities.
