I think the original comments were on the mark.  A new group
is needed, because:
	1) The traffic of OS-9 discussion is high
	2) There are a lot of readers of 68k (6809) who don't
	   want to read about OS-9, and some who want OS9
	   without 68k/6809.

Whether OS-9 is the best thing since sliced bread is irrelevant.
Most of us 68k'ers would be perfectly content to have the cult
members continue to believe so, as long as they do so elsewhere.
