I do see what you mean about ".newusers" group being good. I also just recenltly thought that a group for software products (usage, recommendations, looking for, etc.) would be good. I'd suggest c.s.a.software (matches c.s.a.hardware) but then people writing software would always crosspost to .software and .tech. Maybe we should have .software.dev and .software.use. I've never been good at picking names, anyone have a good suggestion? Anyway, if we had such a group, all that would be left in c.s.a is rumors and industry news. This is actually quite good because there are times when I'm programming and all I want is the rumors and no "how do I use xxx product" messages. I assume there are others like me on the net. :-) > Anyway, as long as we don't go overboard in defining TOO many groups, I'm > all for any changes. Right... so now I've narrowed my vote to (1) create c.s.a.newuser and (2) create c.s.a.software.users (and re-organize a little [.tech could become c.s.a.software.devel and .games would be c.s.a.software.games]) What do you think? -Tom -- 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
