Good point.

Archiving of posts in a searchable form (via Google) is one of the big
reasons for using Usenet.

I can't see any problem with posting ENVI-related stuff to
comp.lang.idl-pvwave. As a user of IDL but not ENVI, the ENVI stuff is
seldom of interest to me, but that's OK. If ENVI posts always have
"ENVI" in the subject line (which they often do) then I can just ignore
them.

> P.S.S. Whats up with comp.lang.idl --> is this not for IDL programming?

Yes, where "IDL" means "Interface Definition Language", not "Interactive
Data Language". Quite unrelated. Is there any reader of
comp.lang.idl-pvwave who has ever used the former?

> What is "pvwave" anyway?

PV-Wave from Visual Numerics--see www.vni.com. Used to be very similar
to IDL, less so now.
