Count my votes in favor of net.astro and net.astro.wizards.
I too am somewhat disappointed in net.space and would welcome
a different group for discussions of an astronomical nature.
Personally I would be interested in topics dealing with observational
astronomy, since that is where most of my personal experience lies,
but am growing ever more fascinated by recent astrophysics issues 
(as long as they can be understood by mortals with no real quantum-mechanics 
background).

I sincerely hope we can muster a sufficient level of traffic and
discussion to justify the creation of net.astro and to support its
continued existence.  If we have enough astronomy-types on the net,
then let's do it!

ps: I'd also like to get involved in program exchanges.  I have several
    astronomy-related programs that I'd be willing to swap for others.
    Then too, it'd be nice to find a more seasoned user community that 
    could help me improve the ones I already have.
