[discussion on the question of splitting comp.windows.x]

> Side-question: I've heard that MIT runs a mailing list (xpert?). 
	
	The xpert mailing list carries the identical messages as are found in
comp.windows.x   The mailing list consists primarily of redistribution addresses.
If you can read this message through subscribing to comp.windows.x there is no
reason to be on the xpert mailing list.  

> Are there others?  Do things get crossposted, or...?

	There are some other public mailing lists, but there is rarely, basically
never, any traffic on them.  The cross-posting only occurs between comp.windows.x
and the xpert list.
