In my understanding, the unix-unanimous mailing list was started to discuss
unix issues because /usr/group/cdn wasn't. I am fuzzy on the original
history, so I am not sure whether the mailing-list or the UU meetings came
first.

However, this I do know: can.usrgroup was created to carry the UU mailing
list traffic to the net, because it was felt that the mailing list was not
reaching enough of the people who would be interested in UU. It was not
created to discuss /usr/group/cdn. Nevertheless, the two groups are somewhat
inter-related, and I admit there will be inevitable spill-over. Also,
evolution being what it is...
