Keywords: split c.s.a, brenda Message-ID: Date: 9 Oct 90 22:33:25 GMT References: <9010092001.AA02063@mcs-server.gac.edu> Organization: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy NY Lines: 28 My two cents: A moderated group for c.s.a. would be great. c.s.a.announce? fine! I moved to trn recently, and I can usually cut my reading to less than 40 articles/day I also realize that trying to read through c.s.a straight can be a problem: I went away for the weekend, and came home to 400+ articles in c.s.a alone. Using trn, possible, with rn, I would have marked everything as read, and hoped that I hadn't missed anything important. My suggestion is: -leave c.s.a. in it's wild (overgrown) state. breaking it up into many parts would cause sites to pick and chose groups which would defeat the purpose of breaking it up. i.e. THERE IS a comp.sys.amiga.hardware now. since many sites don't get it, c.s.a. getshardware posts too... -create a modified group so those who can't handle c.s.a. will still be able to catch "New Virus on Lotus 1-2-12" reports, and "Amiga 4700 is out based on a 8088, running BSD." My point is that posts like this can be condensed into "Mitch says two groups: c.s.a. and -.announce" While -real- posts can get reprinted in all their glory. I'm sure you all get the gist -Mitch -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\| Software Error Task Held |///////////////////// kengo@pawl.rpi.edu | "I see." said Arthur, who didn't |We're the same person -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
