Perhaps there would be interest in a comp.graphics.images.  No, I'm not
talking about posting uuencoded X-rated images or those stupid line printer
pictures, but rather info on:

	image archives
		formats, listings
	image processing techniques
		halftoning
		colormap-hacking
		compression
		etc.
	image file formats and interchange
		2d (pixmap/bitmap)
		3d
	image scanning/display hardware
	etc.

Any thoughts?  Seems like a lot of recent comp.graphics traffic has been 
on this kind of stuff and it seems to be pretty orthogonal to what the
rendering/visualization crowd is interested in.

Discussions of the morality or political correctness of a given image
would still go to talk.religion and soc.{,wo}men, of course.  (Even better,
alt.dev.null.)
