There are many "notes" (aka net-news articles) on the Amiga.  You're looking
at the wrong newsgroup.  For instance, on my Unix system, the "news" program
reports the following:

newsgroup		highest article number		unexpired articles
-------------------	----------------------		------------------
alt.sources.amiga		00023				   1
comp.binaries.amiga		00753				 123
comp.sources.amiga		00617				  61
comp.sys.amiga			28919				7221
comp.sys.amiga.games		00743				  91
comp.sys.amiga.hardware		02860				1472
comp.sys.amiga.tech		08519				2253

So, tell the "notes" program that you want to read the comp.sys.amiga
newsgroup and you will be inundated with articles.  This newsgroup
(alt.sources.amiga) is the "other" newsgroup for posting the sources
to programs that run on the Amiga.
