What is newsgroup "comp.programming.literate" for?
Is it a moderated newsgroup? Seems so...
If "programming.literate" is about literature
related to computers.... why not just name it
"comp.books"? :)
Why is it named "programming.literate"
not "programming.literature"
nor "programming.literacy" ?
I can see some newsgroups related
to computer books, all related to
modem-based BBS (e.g. Fidonet)!!
cn.bbs.comp.book
tw.bbs.comp.book
fido7.ru.books.computing
fj.fleamaret.books.comp
There are NO newsgroup(s) like:
alt.books.computer
