Cupertino, CA. Lines: 23 Its beginning to look like we ARE going to need to split up unix-wizards into some managable form, simply because the volume is starting to overwhelm some people (the same can be seed for ne.micro, but that seems to be because a lot of people don't use the existing splits). I don't think net.unix-novice is a good idea, but perhaps splitting up unix wizards into something like this is: net.unix-wizards .help /* General help and request messages */ .kernel /* kernel stuff, since many don't have * to worry about it. */ I think if you put the kernel stuff in a place where the people who don't have to work with it don't need to see it, and if you put the generalize help and request (who has a driver for a foobar?) messages in another it will make life much more manageable. We might also want to consider setting up one for nroff/troff/ditroff and cc for this, and use net.unix-wizards for stuff that doesn't fit elsewhere. chuck ucbvax!amd70!packet!cfv
