Nope. We just underestimated the stupidity of MS-DOS users.

I think it's time for a grand reorganization, here's my proposal:

> comp.windows.garnet	The Garnet user interface development environment.
	comp.gui.garnet
> comp.windows.interviews	The InterViews object-oriented windowing system.
	comp.gui.interviews
> comp.windows.misc	Various issues about windowing systems.
	comp.gui.misc
> comp.windows.ms		Window systems under MS/DOS. [Obsolete]
	BOOM
> comp.windows.ms.programmer	Writing apps for MS Windows. [Obsolete]
	BOOM
> comp.windows.news	Sun Microsystems' NeWS window system.
	comp.gui.news
> comp.windows.open-look	Discussion about the Open Look GUI.
	comp.gui.open-look
> comp.windows.x		Discussion about the X Window System.
	comp.x.misc		/* X is not a GUI, remember :-> */

	comp.x.intrinsics

	comp.gui.motif

	BOOM

	comp.x.pex

Peter, I think this is a great idea.  Let's get this thing settled once
and for all!

A wee bit of overkill. My humble opinion, as the self-apointed savior,
(retired) of comp.windows.misc, is that there is so little misc
traffic about windowing systems that that group has little purpose. I
was able to redirect most of the confused Microsoft Windows users to
the correct group by sending them email, but no appropriate discussion
appeared on comp.windows.misc. The minute that I stopped sending lots
of email, the confused MS Windows users reappeared.

It's dead, Jim. If you want to attempt to revive it, volunteer to take
over the cwm FAQ.

Well, nothing less has worked, long term.

Looked like there was quite a bit of discussion. Oh, not at the level of
comp.lang.misc (AKA comp.lang.flame.c), but appropriate for a misc group
in a properly divided hierarchy.

Agreed, allthough Greg Lindahl did a good job.
