I agree that the mere use of the word "game" is not totally helpful to
the AMiga's image at this point in time.  However, it would be a nice
relief to my "n" and "k" keys to bypass all the "games" postings.
(Not that I don't like games.  I just don't have the time nor will to
wade through them).

So.... how about a compromise.  What would you think of an alternative name 
without the "games" stigma?  For instance:
rec.amiga.entertainment   or
comp.sys.amiga.fun  or
comp.sys.amiga.entertain  or an appropriate "non-stigmatized" name.

I could sleep soundly at night with this alternative.
