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. Mark Horton Director, the UUCP Project

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.
