I believe comp.chi or comp.hci is unnecessarily narrow, as indeed
is 'cognitive' engineering.  Human factors engineering addresses
interesting issues at the physiological, perceptual, and social --
as well as the cognitive -- levels.  Also, we are concerned with
human interaction with complex engineered systems other than
computers -- e.g., life-support systems.
