If the group is intended for dealing specifically with VMS POSIX--as
I think it should--then "vmsnet.vms-posix" would be a much better name. The
name "vmsnet.posix" is too general, and is liable to attract inappropriate
cross-posts like vmsnet.employment does.
If the proposed group is intended for dealing with POSIX in general,
that seems to be outside the scope of VMSnet.
