Let me clear this up a bit before anyone quick-to-flame starts up:

Jim conducted the usual voting and solicitation for comments on this
group about 6 months ago.  He got in the neighborhood of 100 votes, plus
some complaint that someone else was about to start a moderated group too.
Thus, Jim waited.  Then he waited for the confusion over newsgroup
renaming to die down some.  Now that things are semi-stable, he wanted
to try again, especially considering the amount of Atari-related
postings in other groups.

He contacted Mark H. and myself for advice.  We suggested that he
post again to news.group and see if there were objections and/or
suggestions.  He's already had the votes, and the need and volume
are certainly established.
