How about this for a justification: As often as not, when you post
a *roff-related question comp.text, you are likely to get an answer along the
lines, "in TeX this works much better, like this ..." and similar, and
you can't really flame the poster, because in comp.text TeX-based
answers are just as legitimate as *roff-based or whatever-based
replies.

In comp.text.dwb, such answers would be out of order, and I for one
would be much more inclined to post and read to a group where I do
not have to contend with TeX, WP, MS-Word, Pagemaker, etc, but can
concentrate on discussing *roff related subjects with other *roff
users.

That's why I voted "yes."
