Also known as: misc
The Big 8 catch-all for subjects that fit nowhere else, including misc.jobs.offered, misc.kids, and misc.consumers.house. It absorbs proposals that cannot reasonably be placed under comp, rec, sci, soc, or talk, making it the most heterogeneous branch by design rather than by neglect. Creating a group here still requires the full Big 8 process, and the branch carries text only.
