- Given the character of a large minority of postings in this group, why not
- split off a COMP.SUN.FANCLUB ? Definitely would more accurately reflect
- the accuracy of the "information" in these postings. Maybe Bill
- Joy could be prevailed upon to send out secret vi rings to posters who
- meet the appropriate standards. You know, postings such as "SUN owns the
- lion's share of the workstation market", "SUN's marketing strategy is to
- build slow workstations", "all unices except SUNOS suck", etc, etc........

- Happy new year, everyone.
