Since my original posting a couple of days ago which proposed the
creation of a new group for the Macintosh II's version of UNIX (A/UX)

1)  Isn't it a little premature to be creating a newsgroup
for an OS that "doesn't exist yet?"

	Perhaps.  Part of my motivation is that perhaps we
	can influence what goes into it.  After all, Apple
	certainly reads the net, and probably would pay
	some attention to meaningful suggestions we came
	up with.

2)  Why do we need several groups?

	I'm only suggesting one additional group.  I just
	didn't know what to call it.  Stuff pertaining
	to the existing Mac and it's emulation on the Mac II
	ought to continue going where they already are.
	Stuff pertaining to A/UX ought to go somewhere else
	as it's a significantly different problem.

BTW, for what's its worth, the opinion seems to be about 66%
for creation and 33% against.  I will go ahead and keep the polls
open until 22 March at which time I will post the results,
and assuming a favorable response, proceed with group creation.
Oh yeah, perhaps predictably, nobody has prefered a moderated
group.
