No I mean in general.  I prefer either traditional (NNTP) Usenet or else
privately operated web forums.

I think on this group there are a dozen or so people who were interested
enough in the GA144 to spend a while looking at its docs and so on, and
a smaller group who tried to think up applications for it, but that's a
bit short of "eager".  

I guess there are some also Forth cpu's like the b16 that you might or
might not count as MISC.

Overall I think "let's create a new XYZ group to drum up interest in
XYZ" has been tried many times and never works.  The time to create an
XYZ group is when discussion of XYZ occupies a big enough chunk of the
traffic of a group on some related topic, that it helps everyone
involved to split off the XYZ stuff.  So I think it's ok to keep MISC
stuff here on CLF until/unless traffic grows enough to want to split
it off.  That's the MISC spirit, anyway: solve the problem you have.
