I would prefer to have a mailing list that discussed the VAX,
and not whether MCRFOOBLETCH is misspelled in the DCLHACKBLECTH.

Hence the preferred segmentation of lists.  We in the UNIX world
do not send and would not want to send our systems problems to
this hopefully more general (or more specific) list.

A logical breaking up of our world would be:

	info-vax   (hardware and o.s. independent issues)

       /      \
      /        \
  info-vms    info-unix (instantiated as unix-wizards@sri-warf)

This would be the sensible, even polite thing to do.  I predict close
to ZERO overlap between the people on info-vms and the people on
info-vax.
