I started a discussion (as promised several months back at the middle of the comp.sys.amiga.games discussion) in the Amiga groups on reorganization to save a bit of traffic in news.groups until the Amiga community can get its act together somewhat. There was, and is, no intention to bypass the normal complete CFD/CFV process in news.announce.newgroups; we just aren't ready to go netwide yet, as the shape of the reorganization proposal hasn't gelled. Look for us in a week or two. Sorry for the overenthusiasm of a participant; I'm sure he's been read the rules, at length, in email by now. ;-) Kent, the man from xanth.
