I've been reading comp.text for just a few weeks, but I really cannot
see the need for this subgroup.  The group traffic is fairly low, and
surely easy enough for an interested reader to peruse.  Moreover,
about 85% (a guess) of the articles concern the TeX family, with only
a minority being nroff, troff, or postscript articles.  This doesn't
seem to be the situation where a new newsgroup is in order.  Am I
missing something?
