Terry's favorite horse. :)
No Terry, we are not UNIX(trashmark), but nevertheless, people used to
categorize BSD as "unix" (not in capitals).

.misc is 99 % .questions
.development is unneeded since development happens in mailing lists,
not in Usenet. I'm all for a split, but judging from the traffic
there, and from our experience with the comp.os.386bsd hierarchy, i
have yet to see a good way that would also be accepted by the Usenet
users (since they have to decide where to post). A split that just
causes everybody to crosspost his question into 2 groups doesn't gain
us anything.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
