Some months ago, there appeared what was called THE FINAL LIST of Amiga
supporting bulletin board systems nationwide, compiled by a fella named
Chet Solace.   What was not (could not?) be indicated in that list is the
relative size and membership of each of those systems.  I am a member of
People Link, Compuserve, Genie, and BIX.  If, as a software/book vendor,
I wanted to do a posting that would reach the largest number of Amiga
folks, I'd want to post to all of the networks of which I am a member, and
to choose the 2, 10, 40, 80, whatever number of Amiga BBS's which have the
highest exposure to the Amiga community.  Does anyone on Usenet have some
experience using THE FINAL LIST, and thus knows which boards are the most
likely candidates for product announcements?  More bang for the buck, right?

Thanks in advance for feedback.
