ABSOLUTELY NOT!  Those would turn into:

net.micro.atar
net.micro.cbm.
net.micro.appl

Please, PLEASE, keep the unique-within-14 characters limit in mind
when suggesting news group names; look at all the problems when
the mod.computers and mod.protocols subgroups got all bundled into
single groups.  I say, if it isn't broke, don't fix it, and especially
don't break it.  Leave net.micro.mac alone, and if you must split the
atari group make it net.micro.st and net.micro.atari, similar to the
net.micro.amiga and net.micro.cbm split - let's try to keep things at
3 levels, no more, PLEASE.

Thank you.
