  It would actually make more sense to move unix under comp.os rather
than have a hierarchy of its own. I realize this is for hysterical
reasons (oops, historical reasons, freudian slip no doubt), but logic
would indicate that this is a reasonable thing to do.

  Moving any os groups not based on AT&T code into comp.unix is probably
a bad idea.

        It never ceases to amaze me that otherwise rational people, able to
        understand calculus, compound interest, and the income tax form, can
        continue to believe that poker is a game of chance.
