 `I agree with Ken: yes to the creation of the newsgroup, no the capitalization.
 `If the capitalized name were to be adopted, I'd really suggest that another
 `newgroup called comp.text.tex be created as an "alias" which just fed into
 `comp.tex.TeX.  I once created a "TeX" directory for all the TeX-related
 `software I culled from the net but then had to link it to "tex" to avoid 
 `confusion:
 `
 `	"I looked for /usr/src/local/src/tex, just like you said,`
 `		 but it doesn't exist."
 `	"It's spelled capital T, and capital X, but small e." 
 `	"Huh?"
 `
 `It's a mistake.
 `
I already retracted the capitalization. By the way, the discussion should
be continued in news.groups. Please obey the followup: line.
