Huh? I know that some people morn the loss of the old name, but the group
still exists under its new name of comp.unix.internals. Why on earth
should we need a new alt group to 'shadow' an existing comp group? It makes
sense to introduce an Altnet group for a new subject that may later migrate
to the Usenet, or for a subject that the main Usenet will not carry, but
not for a subject that is already as well supported as comp.unix.

Usenet works on the principle that 10,000 people know more about the answer to
any question than one does. Unfortunately they know 10,000 different answers.
