[comp.sys.misc] net.micro is being renamed comp.sys.misc

mark@cbosgd.ATT.COM (Mark Horton) (11/07/86)

This newsgroup is being renamed from net.micro to comp.sys.misc.
This renaming will gradually take place over the next few weeks.
More and more messages posted to this newsgroup will be aliased
into the new newsgroup as they pass through the net, and people
will begin to post to the new group.  After a few weeks, the
old name will be removed.

This note is to inform you of the renaming so you can begin to
read the new group as well as the old group.

   Is the name indicative of a change in scope?  That is, does the new
group exist only to discuss microcomputers?  I realize that the renaming
process will not please everybody, but if 'comp.sys.misc' is still 
intended for microcomputer topics only, the name is not at all representative
of the intended contents.  It's bad enough that the group gets a bunch of
non-generic micro postings; now, we'll have to put up with Sperry mainframe
stuff, etc.
