Actually, the place to post is the same as for any language which does not have
its own newsgroup, comp.lang.misc. There hase been no traffic on basic in this
group and I have seen nothing in the two groups you mentioned. Why do you think
a group needs to be split for this? How much traffic on basic is there
currently?
As an aside, I think it would be useful for proponents of splitting newsgroups
to include traffic statistics in their call for discussion or an explaination
of why traffic is not relavant to the discussion.
