For all of you who responded to my suggestion for a net.auto.tech,
and those who haven't made any comments yet but who have a
preference one way or the other:  I sought advice from our
system administrator regarding starting a new group. Apparently
proposals for new group are supposed to be discussed in
net.news.group and if the discussion (votes) seem to favor the
new group, someone (system administrator) will create it.  Its
not real clear to me who is to make the decision, or what 
criteria is to be used in the evaluation.

Anyway, if you are in favor of splitting net.auto into two
groups, one for technical discussions, the other for non-technical
you should subcribe to net.news.group and post your opinion there.
I originally suggested net.auto.tech as a technical sub-group of
net.auto; others have since suggested net.driving for the non-technical
discussion, leaving the technical stuff in net.auto - I have no
strong preference either way. I guess if you are opposed to a
split, you should also let your voice be heard.
