|comp.sys.att.3b1.  We then have a sources group to match in comp.sources.

|2) we propose to put the new group under comp.sys.att.{3b1,unixpc,7300} and

|reorganization, but we really are only interested in the 3b1 models.  We
|say 'let the 3b2 owners get their own newsgroup passed.'
|
|3) we propose to call the group comp.sys.convergent.s4 which completely
|divorces us from at&t and explicitly include the CT people.

4) we begin to wonder what the fuss was all about, and
gradually but inexorably come to the conclusion that it
wasn't a very good idea after all.


I'm pretty sure I'm in favor of number 4.
