Is it possible to "officially" (re)consider it now, and then bless it? It is fruitless to argue the propriety of its original creation and rmgrouping - however I do think the choice of an appropriate name is important (if it is possible.) With all the discussion about keywords and changing group names, the point has been made that the group name should be indicative of the theme. To me, "net.internat" doesn't suggest anything about unix. --henry schaffer
