c.s.a.misc, c.s.a.emulation, c.s.a.datacom, c.s.a.announce,
c.s.a.introduction, c.s.a.application, c.s.a.software, etc.

Way too many groups.  As I e-mailed to a few people who recommended
comp.sys.amiga.emulations in the past, many of the questions about
emulators fall over into other areas.  As an example, my recent A-Max
question about HD formatting and mountlists really was not only an
emulator question; it was a question that could have been answered by
many people who had never (and might not ever) use(d) A-Max.

Two points that I have to get off my chest now:

1) Would it not be easier to just post less to c.s.a than split it
up?  I mean, if, for example, someone posts "what is the difference
between an A500 and an A2000?" we do not all need to post the answer.
USE E-MAIL MORE!  Especially for flames!

2) Referring back to the c.s.a.emulations point above, I can see myself
and many others cross-posting more often now.  Before you flame, consider
that many topics which formerly fit quite nicely in c.s.a will now cross
borders, and are JUSTIFIABLY posted to more than one group.  Consider
this advance warning:  If these new groups go through, and I have a
question that (again) JUSTIFIABLY can be cross-posted, I will indeed
cross-post it.  If I get flamed, I will flame back harder.

I've been reading this group for quite a while now, and I have been
one to put up with reading hundreds of posts daily, and at 1200 baud,
and with restricted ration time.  I see no need for so many groups.
This is a blatent example of good intentions hurting more than helping.
