The biggest category could be spun off into a new newsgroup. We did this with comp.sys.amiga.games and it worked well. Finally a newsgroup that I don't read! Hurray! I would really like to see a moderated version of comp.sys.amiga. It could be a mailing list and would contain all the posts from comp.sys.amiga that shouldn't have been posted to .hardware or .tech :-) Less seriously, I would like to appoint a c.s.a.police-person. Someone that we'd all permit to send mail to posters things like: "You idiot! That should have gone in xxx newsgroup" or "You idiot! That's in the monthly posting!" or "You idiot! Keep my-computer-is-better-than-your- computer posting out of this newsgroup!" Maybe this police-person could also forge cancel messages for really silly messages :-) -Tom P.S. Of course, if I was the police-person, I'd consider canceling this message. -- tlimonce@drew.edu Tom Limoncelli "Freedom and justice tlimonce@drew.uucp +1 201 408 5389 are opposites" tlimonce@drew.Bitnet limonce@pilot.njin.net -me
