No, here alt.amiga.demos shows up under alt.sources.amiga. I've tried replying to an alt.amiga.demos news thread, but I always get an error stating an illegal newgroup/does not exist. I really would like to have alt.amiga.demos here so I could participate in the discussions... Hope this gets straightened out, Metahawk metahawk@rpi.edu
