   Because gnu.misc.discuss seems primarily for political discussions.
   I want a newsgroup exclusively for software design issues. Politics
   has its place, and it isn't there.

gnu.misc.discuss is an appropriate forum for technical discussions.

It be very nice if they drown out the flaming, which is what the large
part of the political discussions here have been.

If technical discussions get to have a significant volume here for a
significant amount of time, we'll (the gnUSENET newsgroups and GNU
Project mailing list coordinatoors), will consider adding a new group
for them.
