You and I agree completely on this, but it appears that now the name
comp.soft-sys.andrew exists as a 'real' group, the vast majority of the
net doesn't care a **** about our view that the name should have been
comp.sys.andrew, and the only person who does care disagrees with us.

Having counted the number of X's in comp.X.*, I suspect that it is now
too late to bring order into them.     As for the inet groups - let them
all come.   I don't even know which are inet and which are Usenet any more.
