Don't overlook that the early hackers/geeks of the 50s and 60s were
not only telecom techs but variously mathematicians, chemists,
engineers, physicists, musicians, neuroscientists and anthropologists
inter alia who were drawn, to one degree or another, to IT.

I agree that under the Usenet rubric, comp.misc mandates some
connection to comp(puters).  But 70 or so years on from the Macy
Conferences, (q.g.) [1] not all techno-geeks are narrowly into IT per
se and cross fertilization is good for many, perhaps most of us.

Good luck with agreeing on a suitably more general venue. I'll start
looking at mnid myself.


[1] q.g. Quod google. More neutral than gify. Like q.v., quod vide. :-)
