I was the respondant. The previous exchanges can be found via
www.altavista.digital.com or www.dejanews.com .

:If you close it, could one rename the ever-confusing comp.lang.idl-pvwave to
:comp.lang.idl ? I believe the majority of (RSI) IDL users, which are more
:than 100, would find that easy.

That would leave out the Visual Numerics PVWAVE users unless a new
newsgroup such as comp.lang.pvwave were also created. It does not seem
to me that volume of PVWAVE messages distinct from IDL messages would
be high enough to warrant a split. As newsgroup votes are always held
independantly, this could easily lead to a situation where
comp.lang.idl-pvwave was renamed to comp.lang.idl but comp.lang.pvwave
was rejected, which would leave the PVWAVE users with no newsgroup.
