The only other group I think might be considered is c.s.m.apps.wordproc, and
that might not be the appropriate name, since some people seem to include
desktop publishing in with this, which is different from word publishing.
Maybe c.s.m.apps.texthacking? (that's not a serious proposal. really). I'm
not convinced WP and DTP should be together, but I"m also not sure whether
we could successfully separate them without a lot of cross-posting. In other
words, I'm just not sure.

	I prefer unmoderated, assuming a moderated c.s.m.announce is
	created. If c.s.m.announce is not created, I prefer it to be
	moderated.

I don't know what's scarier: President Reagan saying he had no inkling of 
his aides doing anything illegal, or an ex-president who uses the word inkling.
