This is true of any product. The news group should contain info about all
database products. If it is about a product for which you have no interest,
then just use the 'n' key to skip over it. I see no reason to not post this
information in the group. I would like to continue things as they are. I do
think that the idea of a comp.4gl would be useful. Someone should start a
discussion about the idea in news.groups.
