All the newsgroups voted upon passed; there were probably that many or more names/groups proposed in the various CFD's and discussions that never made it to the vote stage. I've pointed followups to comp.sys.amiga.misc, since at some unspecified but probably near time in the future, comp.sys.amiga will become just a hierarchy node, no longer elegible for posting. I invite everyone else to do the same when following up articles in this group: pick one of the new groups for the topic and make an entry on the followups line and the newsgroups line to put your response and all subsequent articles in the other group. It will be a lot less traumatic if comp.sys.amiga and comp.sys.amiga.tech are idle when they are withdrawn. I'm not a sysop, but from the evidence, there are no aliases from c.s.a to c.s.a.misc and from c.s.a.tech to c.s.a.programmer, or those two groups would be much busier than at present; I don't know where in the transition process this is supposed to happen, or if Eliot Lear has taken on the job of doing so, or even if he can without intervention by each local sysop. By the way, there is a certain amount of low level muttering about adding still more newsgroups. I suggest this be deferred for at least a year while the existing groups settle in a bit and we see how these work. We still haven't done the deletions, and the folks using amiga-relay are reporting some problems getting their subscriptions straightened out, which I've take a little email action to try to relieve with the help of the relay operator. /// It's Amiga /// for me: why Kent, the man from xanth. \\\/// settle for \XX/ anything less? -- Convener, COMPLETED (sort of) comp.sys.amiga grand reorganization.
