If anyone feels strongly that a games newsgroup is merited, the procedure for establishing newsgroups is well-documented and posted periodically to news.announce.newusers, news.groups, and news.admin. I don't think establishing comp.sys.atari.st.games is a good idea. "Amiga has one" is not an argument that I find persuasive. Proliferating newsgroups willy-nilly is dangerous. At some point, news administrators (or perhaps their bosses) will say, "Enough is enough!" and start pulling plugs. We are experiencing propagation problems with comp.sys.atari.st.tech, and perhaps as a result there are many postings in this newsgroup that belong in the technical discussion. The dust should be allowed to settle from that fairly recent change before considering another split of the ST groups. -- Steve Yelvington up at the lake in Minnesota steve@thelake.mn.org plains!umn-cs!thelake!steve
