This question came up several months ago. After a period of discussion,
it was concluded that
A: There is not enough "pure image processing" traffic to warrant
another news group.
B: Image processing articles should be posted to net.graphics
because the subjects are so closely related. Besides the two camps
will tend to learn from each other, and in most cases the graphics
people wanted more image processing articles for that very same
reason.
C: If and when the image processing traffic becomes large, everyone
(graphics and image processing types alike) will agree that a
separate news group should be created.
D: The net.graphics traffic is not large enough to justify the "I'm
tired of wading through 100's of graphics articles for the two image
processing articles of interest to me" complaint (also known as the
"I'm tired of trying to find a joke in net.jokes" complaint).
These opinions were never formally written out like this, but this
seems to be the consensus from what I saw.
Any objections?
