I've never had access to emacs on any *nix system I've used, so I've
only ever had one brief visit in comp.emacs.

But it seems to me that a split for comp.emacs like this needs to be
done as a separate thing, initiated from within the group.  From what
you are saying, it does seem like a good idea.

There has been some suggestion about doing this:

comp.editors.emacs-gnu
comp.editors.emacs-other
comp.editors.emacs.xemacs

that is, making emacs a subgroup of comp.editors.

(Just an _idea_! :)

So, anyone in {comp,gnu}.emacs want to get the ball rolling on this?

[I've left the crosspost into the three newsgroups alone, but perhaps
any followups about this should trim out comp.editors from now on?? ]

Cheers
Tony
