I haven't been keeping up with stargates. To whom should I address a suggestion that this newsgroup, comp.sources.bugs, be split into a subgroup, comp.sources.bugs, which I might read, and another, comp.sources.bugs.games, from which most of us out here would just like to unsubscribe? It seems that 90% of the postings to this newsgroup are about games; does this mean that system managers and hackers are spending 90% of their time on hack and xconq? Who is paying them to do this? Why don't they concentrate on more interesting projects (I have several in mind)? David Rabson Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics Cornell University

Yah. I'm also tired of seeing postings about Unix bugs, Spreadsheet bugs, editor bugs, and other bugs in programs I don't have or use. And shouldn't there be a group called comp.sources.bugs.d where we can discuss in tedious detail which bugs are acceptable in comp.bugs. What do you feel is the proper scope of comp.sources.bugs anyway, if not bugs in programs posted in comp.sources?
