everything in here, but I couldn't post because my employer didn't like that kind of thing (Very Large Blue company). Now I am in a position to activiely participate, but I am overwhelmed by the amount of stuff in comp.windows.x that I don't care about. Is it time for .servers .sun .toolkits .protocol .lib .motif .video .input .zbuff .doublebuff .extensions .whatever? Face it, X has grown up. (Thanks Bob, Jim, Keith, et al.) I am not suggesting this particular list, but the current situation is (for me, at least) a pain. With more focused topics, I would have an easier time contributing.

This point has come up several times in the past, but, for better or worse, many people are reading comp.windows.x as a mailing list (xpert). Splitting one without splitting the other would be useless and splitting a mailing list is more work than anyone is interested in doing. I'd suggest that you get a better news reader so that you can more scan handle a large newsgroup. I use xrn (contact ellen@ic.berkeley.edu or ricks@berkeley.edu) which works wonderfully. It does require X, but this is a X group afterall. Ken Lee DEC Western Software Laboratory, Palo Alto, Calif. Internet: klee@decwrl.dec.com uucp: uunet!decwrl!klee

That makes the noise more manageable, but it does not alter the state of comp.windows.x Opinions are mine, not SGI's +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Those who sacrifice freedom for security soon find that | | they have neither. -Benjamin Franklin | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Tom Paquin paquin@sgi.com | | Silicon Graphics Computer Systems 415-335-1438 | | Mountain View, CA 94039 | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
