There has been some discussion in net.micro.amiga about creating
a new newsgroup for amiga source.  net.sources.amiga has been suggested.

As I understand it, the proper method for getting this done is to move
the discussion to net.news.group so other system administrators can
see the discussion.  This also relieves net.micro.amiga from the flood
of "yes, lets do it" and "no, lets not" messages.

Unfortunately, most people I know have unsubscribed to net.news.group.
This tends to make the discussion rather one sided.  In addition, the
newsgroup is already innundated with a several large flaming discussions:

    removing net.bizzare
    removing net.flame
    removing net.internat
    "fear and loathing on the clouds"
    etc.

To those who think they REALLY know the rules:  what now?

I am willing to archive the group.  I am also willing to moderate it
if it is decided that mod.source.amiga is a better bet.

A note: I work for Commodore-Amiga, and am not a disinterested party.
