I definitely agree and have thought this was needed for some time.  I have
even posted a few articles in news.groups to see if anyone was interested
in creating a newsgroup for this purpose.  I didn't get any responses, but
that really shouldn't be too suprising considering that I didn't cross-post
to this newsgroup.  There is a large difference between discussing the 
inards of the tcp-ip suite and discussing how to set up bind or how slip
should be set up.  These things have been discussed in this group, but I 
don't think they belong here.  They also don't belong in comp.unix.admin
(another group that such subjects get posted to) - at least the non-unix
specific parts don't.  What about creating a newsgroup for this type
of posting instead of a mailing list?
