True - but let's not take this to mean, then, that there's no need to have the two groups. The point of forming the tech group was not entirely that some of us didn't want to read about non-tech topics. There were other reasons, as well. Even though an individual may read both, it works *much, much* better to have the topical areas separate - it is easier and more coherent to follow discussions over time, for instance, when you're not hopping, bouncing, weaving, and wading your way through a mixture of tech and non-tech articles. Can we try harder?? [This one dual-posted for obvious reasons :-) ] Mark Bernstein (UT - Austin, Speech)
