"NAY."

The name vmsnet.vms-posix sounds like it was invented by the 
department of redundency department.

General posix stuff should be in a comp.????.posix group.
VMS posix stuff goes in vmsnet.posix.  Even I could follow that logic.
Adding the extra "vms-" is fixing something that's not broken.

(Decus.posix.vms would make sense if there were a decus news domain, 
which there ain't.)
