I've crossposted this comp.graphics to remind everyone whats going on on in news.groups. Please followup in news.groups and show your support for c.g.research (you do support it don't YOU :-) ).

Down the track I'm sure that other graphics groups will be created as the need arises, so how 'bout we just stick to the creation of this group first. If you don't think that c.g.research caters for your particular field of graphics this just means that you should start campaigning for another group *seperately* - don't bag the current one.
