No, I wouldn't want another Windows list - but nor would I want Windows fans
to feel that they had nowhere to ask questions about *old* versions of
Windows. I expect the various MS usenet groups are all about new versions and
nothing more. (Although Win95 seems to work close enough to newer Windows
variants that I'd debate the usefulness of asking anything here!)
Jay - would an official policy work along the lines of: "Anything over ten
years is on topic, but the mods reserve the right to ask that specific threads
be stopped if things are getting out of hand"?
That way the odd Windows question gets through OK, but can be knocked on the
head after anything more than a handful of replies.
(After all, I'm sure there are all plenty of on-topic threads here that people
don't read because they're not of personal interest!)
