My next post will be my full proposal. In article <1990Oct8.055618.27507@IRO.UMontreal.CA> martin@IRO.UMontreal.CA (Daniel Martin) writes: > c.s.a.announce: As proposed. Good. Good idea... who wants to be the moderator? > c.s.a.classified: (New) My A1000 with 1.1 for 1000$ :-).

Though I don't like this newsgroup (I'll explain in a future post) the name should be .media.multi so that we could later have .media.audio and .media.video, etc. > c.s.a.misc: future, rags, nags, bashing, etc. > > c.s.a.reviews: As proposed. Good. Shouldn't a review be posted to the appropriate newsgroup? Well, maybe not. > c.s.a.tech: As is. > > c.s.a.games: As is. Reviews goes to reviews group. > > c.s.a.help: Good for messages like "DAVE: my mouse is broken" :-) About 90% of all messages are asking for help. Don't you think? A .help or a .questions newsgroup is silly. .q_and_a really means "I don't know enough about the question to know where to post it". > c.s.a.unix: Will be usefull soon. Can be put in c.s.a.help. I suggest comp.unix.sysvr4.amiga, comp.unix.amiga, or comp.unix.sysvr4.68k (since it Amiga UNIX will fit the 680x0 binary standard). My next post will be my strategy proposal.
