Well, ....actually, I feel that there have been very few Windows questions
and a lot more questions regarding Linux and OS/2. And even more about
the Thinkpad hardware themselves, ...which is what the list is about,
afterall!!

It's definitely more helpful for everyone to be part of this already small
group rather than to break it down further. For example, discussion about
an OS often drifts into a discussion about the hardware...etc...

This list is definitely more useful now than if it was split up into:

 comp.sys.thinkpad.hardware ---
 comp.sys.thinkpad.windows |
 comp.sys.thinkpad.dos --- This would be _ridiculous_ !!
 comp.sys.thinkpad.os2 |
 comp.sys.thinkpad.linux ---
