Wonderful, you'll next want us to abolish net.unix in favor of net.usenix.

It damn well is!  If you've actually read it there hasn't been a single
non VMS relate topic on it in a long time.  I used to try to read it
for VAX hardware oriented information, but alas, they don't discuss it
there.   INFO-VAX really is INFO-VMS.
