|I think that is mistake. The only reason for using them is to talk about
|the unix-pc. Since that is now done with comp.*.3b1, there is no reason to
|keep the groups. The only use they will get is the occasional pc unix
|question. They probably will not get their questions answered, as there will
|be few people reading those groups. There are already groups for that,
|and keeping the unix-pc groups will only confuse those new readers.
Nevertheless, I've decided that I don't
have the right to interfere with any of
those uses, as inefficient as it may be
viewed by anyone not using them...
