On a semi-related note....

I have found TUHS a valuable resource, not just for discussing Unix
history, but for gaining a deeper understanding of systems which
informs my present and that I imagine will influence my future work as
well.

However, lately it has become clear that this is not always a welcome
use of the list. I don't think COFF is universally appropriate for
that either.

So, the question becomes: what _is_ that forum, if such a thing exists at all?
