I have been archiving much of the traffic on the mush-users mailing
list (of which there are over 120 subscribers).  Very few messages
contrast elm or mailx to mush; very many are mush-specific.  In other
words, a "misc" group is probably not appropriate.

I support the creation of a new mush usenet news group, not only for us
"beta-testers," but also for the "leaches" of usenet so that they can
suck information, without having to be a beta-tester, contribute code,
bug reports, or suggestions.

We could "take over" comp.mail.misc, but I think it's cleaner to form
our own group.
