- Well, folks told me that I should wait until the msdos windows groups had
- a chance to propagate before bringing this up again. I think that the
- name 'comp.windows.misc' is too general, leading novice folks , who perhaps
- haven't noticed the fact that this group almost resents msdos discussions,
- to post here.
-
- It is time for the bi-monthly discussion on renaming this group.
- Personally, I am in favor of the name:
-
- comp.windows.not-for-msdos-or-x11-please
-
- Some folk will complain that the name is too long . If that is the case,
- is there a character that is prohibited from being in an MS-DOS file name -
- I would like to propose we use that character in the name and that way those
- folks can't even get into this group! (that last one's a JOKE if you missed
- it...)
