No. This group is not all that busy. Splitting it into normal and tech would simply mean that people would have to read both. If you really want to, subscribe to the next-prog mailing list. If you want to see a _busy_ group, check out comp.sys.amiga. Then, if you want to see a tech group in action, check out comp.sys.amiga.tech. I don't think that it was worth it, because if you really are interested, you need to read both groups, because people generally just post to the one they read most often (w/o regards to content). Actually, I think a better idea would be to create comp.sys.next.mac and comp.sys.next.sun, and comp.sys.next.cheap.software, and comp.sys.next.sports (for general bashing). scott hess scott@gac.edu Independent NeXT Developer (Stuart) NeXT Campus Consultant (Not much, really) GAC Undergrad (Horrid.
