RATIONALE: remove comp.sys.intel.ipsc310

comp.sys.intel.ipsc310 has not had any on-topic messages in the past 11

processors rather than the Intel multibus-based systems.

This RFD is part of a proposal to remove 31 low-traffic former-INET
groups.  Please see article <1152814343.19576@isc.org>, available here:

Note: the proposal to remove two of the 31 groups, comp.os.rsts and
comp.std.announce, has been withdrawn.
