	etc. This is beginning to get a bit ridiculous. If
everyone remembers we couldn't even get the votes to create
c.s.a.video. If we make a list of 10-20 groups people will not
care and we won't get the minimum approval (100?).
	We should choose one or two subject that are most
important to separate out. We also don't want groups that will
have 2 messages a day! Even the msdos groups aren't THAT split.
	I would recommend c.s.a.multimedia for the reason that it
includes audio, video, graphics and all their combinations in one
group. This will give it more usage and thus more credibility.
Hopefully it will pass where video failed.
	A suggestion for a second group, if desired. c.s.a.hot.
It would contain hot/breaking stories. Examples would be
press-releases (especially from Commodore) and new product
releases and their reviews. This will also give it a large
volume.
