Well, folks told me that I should wait until the msdos windows groups had
a chance to propagate before bringing this up again.  I think that the
name 'comp.windows.misc' is too general, leading novice folks , who perhaps
haven't noticed the fact that this group almost resents msdos discussions,
to post here.

It is time for the bi-monthly discussion on renaming this group.
Personally, I am in favor of the name:

comp.windows.not-for-msdos-or-x11-please

Some folk will complain that the name is too long .  If that is the case,
is there a character that is prohibited from being in an MS-DOS file name -
I would like to propose we use that character in the name and that way those
folks can't even get into this group! (that last one's a JOKE if you missed
it...)
