Because if there was a "real" newsgroup in place you would get %sroff related
questions in it, instead of comp.unix.%s or comp.lang.postscript. etc.

Also my kill file for comp.text is one of the largest ones on this system.
This is to avoid haveing to wade thru the irrelivent muck about WordPerferated,
MicroshotWord, DvI, tEx, ..etc
