     Letter writing campaigns may work sometimes, but if we want CS to keep
the Amiga section, it's going to have to be a hell of a response.  Believe
me, when their Apple, C-64 and ST sections were snuffed, they got plenty of
letters, some of which they published, but is their such a response in the
Amiga community?  I posted the earlier message about a week ago, and only
two people have bothered discussing it, let alone send a letter to CS.

                                C'est la vie,
