The reason behind the re-organization of comp.sys.mac is that it dealt with
so many different topics.  comp.sys.mac.misc is the REPLACEMENT for 
comp.sys.mac -- comp.sys.mac will eventually go away.  The end result is
a name change (though it's not really that) from "comp.sys.mac" to
"comp.sys.mac.misc" -- it would have looked weird to have several different
"comp.sys.mac.ABCDE" groups, each catering to its own topic, and 
"comp.sys.mac" as the catch-all group for miscellaneous topics.

Was that an adequate description, Chuq?
