	IMHO, this name needs to be changed.  Even though I have 5 years
experience reading USENET news, I'm unable to guess (from the name) the
purpose of the newsgroup.

	I don't have any fantastic suggestions for a new name, but here
are a few attempts that might give other people inspiration:

		c.s.a.competition
		c.s.a.comparisons
		c.s.a.gripes
		c.s.a.improvements

>comp.sys.amiga.datacomm

	I like ".telecomm" better; easier to parse.

>comp.sys.amiga.market

	I think ".marketplace" is better.  With all the talk about CBM
"marketing" in this group, the given name could be ambiguous.

                                                        Dan
