I fail to see where there's a problem with games postings on THIS
newsgroup.  After I got the original message proposing splitting
c.s.a., I decided to see just how many 'games' postings there were.
Since that time, I've noticed that the game post to non-game post
ratio is about 1:14.  So if there's 50 posts in a day, that will
cut out four or five posts, tops.  Not exactly a major time saver.
Hitting the 'n' key each time you see a game name in the header 
will take about an extra 10 seconds per day.  Anyone that can't 
spare 10 seconds for that probably hasn't got the time to read the
group in the first place. :-)

Those posts should probably go to rec.games.misc, as that group 
seems to contain almost exclusively computer games posts.  Creating 
c.s.a.games would be redundant.  Better to politely inform any 
game poster that r.g.m. would be a better group to post their games
questions, as there are far more games players there.
