Yep. >Second, the incidence of crossposting will increase dramatically. Well, the overall volume of articles would go down on c.s.a. >insulated discussion threads. (Note how hardware stuff is still being >crossposted to tech which was supposed to be for programming discussions.) Perhaps a better name should've been chosen for this group. If I didn't know what c.s.a.t.'s purpose was, I'd post technical stuff there, not programming stuff. Maybe comp.sys.amiga.programming would've been more clear... >Finally, I often stumble upon threads that are interesting that I may never >have discovered if they where in a subgroup I had arbitrarily excluded. Such is life... I wouldn't mind seeing one, maybe two more groups appear. this would cut down postings on c.s.a. and would isolate things. I definately think comp.sys.amiga.newprods would be a good idea. Maybe a monthly posting of the groups and their purposes would help. >Jimmy Liberato liberato@dri.com AMH * Andy Hartman | I'd deny half of this crap anyway!| "Somedays, you just * Indiana University | amhartma@silver.ucs.indiana.edu | can't get rid of a * // Amiga Man | AMHARTMA@rose.ucs.indiana.edu | bomb!" * \X/ At Large! | or just "Hey putz!" | - Batman (original)
