Have we? I haven't seen a consensus (unless apparent lack of interest
is a concensus, which I suppose it is, after a fashion). Personally,
I don't think it's too narrowly focused any more than, say,
rec.models.rockets. If the commercial people have some common concerns,
they should bring those up now, and propose how they fit/don't fit into
the proposed group, or why they sjhould be in another group, or whatever.
Ditto the TV folk.
