I have seen lots of amiga games posting on rec.games.misc. And it seems set up for the purpose of something like the proposed comp.sys.amiga.games. I don't think that comp.sys.amiga.games is a bad idea, it just seems a waste of net bandwidth to have two newsgroups when one would suffice (especially since one already exists). If everyone who wanted to post about amiga games did so at rec.games.misc then our problem would be solved. -- Joachim ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What do my .sig and UCI have in common? | | jvance%bonnie@ics.uci.edu | - - - - - - - - - | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ They're both Under Construction Indefinately.|
