If some people plan to keep the unix-pc groups around, I think it
is very important to make certain that no one is aliasing them to
comp.sys.3b1 any longer. Otherwise all the IBM-PC specific stuff
we tried to avoid by dropping 'unix-pc' from the name will just
keep following us ad infinum. I'm still seeing those kinds of
articles here in comp.sys.3b1 every so often, presumably because
of such aliasing. Ugh.
