Get enough mail on a subject and I guess eventually I feel like I have to
say something too.

So how about comp.vr.vrml?

Vrml is not exactly graphics, infosystems or language, but it seems a
little presumptuous to do comp.vrml. The class of stuff, though, is
virtual reality, with all its blossoming permutations and implications.

Objections: "virtual reality means immersive systems" ie. no headmount,
its not true virtual reality. I think this is passe, non-immersive
virtual reality is generally recognized as as legitimate as the immersive
kind (plus I am sure some people are working on immersive implementations
of vrml).

Comp.vr.vrml recognizes the new category of topics involved with vrml,
and comp.vr is broad enough to be a legitimate second level category.
