CALL FOR DISCUSSION: comp.sys.3b1

[jeffrey templon]

I for one concur with nearly everything Mr. Isley said in his posting.
I think he left out one other reason for creating comp.sys.3b1:

One other reason for creating comp.sys.3b1 is that now we are having lots
of erroneous posts to unix-pc.* by people who are running *nix clones
on their 80xx6 PC-clone machines, thinking that unix-pc means "unix on
an IBM-PC (clone) machine.  comp.sys.3b1 seems an unlikely name to confuse
with anything else (except maybe for a place to post requests to send mail
to guiness book of world records candidates.)
