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
