Maybe I'm a little slow, but I don't understand what the content of
this proposed group will be.  I'm all in favor of breaking up
comp.sys.ibm.pc - it has way too high of volume but I would like to
know which part your proposing to break out.  So far, from the other
comments, I think nobodies quite sure what it is.  How 'bout some
specifics or some examples?
