Several people have written to me lately regarding my Request For Discussion on the creation of a new USENET group, comp.os.os2.ecomstation.
I've received more than a couple questions as to "Why not comp.os.ecomstation" or similar. The reasoning is simple. In my view, eCS is more of a 'distribution' of OS/2 than a completely separate OS.
That may change in the future, but for now eCS is predominantly OS/2 and so I feel it would be disingenuous and OT to attempt to dedicate a new hierarchy to it. The 'USENET gods' who have entered the discussion agree.
Anyone is able to submit an RFD for a new USENET group, but I cannot support comp.os.ecomstation.* at this time. While I certainly appreciate the interest and always welcome in thoughtful discussion and debate, I ask that everyone post their messages on USENET, 'news.groups' where the official discussion is taking place.
Cheers,
Jason Stefanovich
