I feel like comp.sys.amiga.general is pretty silly when we have
comp.sys.amiga.misc.  I also feel that we should give the current
setup about a year before considering any major changes.

Aside from that, I LIKE this system.  I particularly like how (at last
count), there were about 30 messages in .advocacy that I DON'T HAVE
TO READ!!!  I don't even have to sic the kill file on them.

If you are not getting any messages in any of the new groups, there is
something wrong with your system.  Talk to your administrator.  There
is a fairly substantial amount of traffic on several groups, while
some seem slow.

Now, if only I could get some people to make announcements....  I'll
have to find a few companies and shake their chains....  Is there
anybody you folks would particularly like to hear from?  I was
thinking of Electronic Arts, GVP, CBM, Supra, and maybe even Epyx
(yes, really).
