I have not seen any discussions on NCR equipment in comp.sys.misc. Why do you
think that a group is warranted when there has been no traffic on the subject?
Lately, there have been too many calls for new groups to ESTABLISH a group
without any demonstrated need or traffic in the appropriate misc group. (I did
the same thing when I issued a call for comp.sys.unisys and was roundly flamed
because there was no need to have a separate group since there was no traffic
on it). I oppose this for the same reason....no established traffic
If you want to discuss NCR equipment, either
1) post to comp.sys.misc and if the traffic on NCR equipment is a significiant
portion of the postings, then call for comp.sys.ncr or
2) run a mailing list and when the traffic volume of your list becomes large,
call for a news group.

Miller Email: rick@bcm.tmc.edu Excuse me, but have you not been paying attention? The original call for discussion was from the person running the MAILING LIST! This fact should negate your opposition. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- EMAIL: barbara.bowen@Orlando.NCR.COM (...ncrlnk!ncrorl!bjb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
