- The reason for wanting a newsgroup specifically on the subject
- of NNs and Natural Language is that, whilst it does appear
- occasionally as a topic in the newsgroups Martin mentions, it
- does not feature as regularly as it probably would if it had a newsgroup
- of its own. A lot of people have contacted me since I first sent out
- my append, so there would appear to be a market for it, to use
- Thatcher-speak.
