   Good idea.  Either that or a periodic posting to all groups listing    
   what's appropriate for each, possibly including the "this group is dead"    
   where appropriate.   
      
   Comp.os.os2.ecomstation seems to get a lot of the same posts (not    
   x-posts) that go to one of the os2 groups - maybe comp.os.os2.misc?
