I second the motion--only let's call it net.micro.compet.  I think that 
there is a legitimate place on the net for discussion of the pros and cons
of various architectures/implementations, and I think that the people who
just want solid technical info about their specific micro/language ought
to be able to read the appropriate newsgroup without having to wade through
the competitive material.
