    Gee, thanx Doug for sticking with me through a time which has been
very aggrivating for me as well as you.  If you were on the 
moderators/backbone mailing list or were in contact with anyone on it,
you would realize that right now there is a HUGE arguement going on to
decide when to go with the new moderated naming scheme.  You would also
realize that I finally got sick of everything, especially not being able
to post to the group and have it get out of a few select machines, and got
Rick Adams to send out a newgrp for comp.sources.amiga (which doesn't, or
at least didn't exist everywhere).
    At the present time, I am sending out test messages over the group
to see how far they get and at the moment I don't think they are getting
out too far.  I am also going to be asking alot of the people who posted
sources to comp.sys.amiga if they would like me to repost their software
to comp.sources.amiga.  I am really sorry if you do not like my
performance as a moderator, but when I was able to post I had no complaints
and I am really working my butt off to try and get things in order for
when the new group is available everywhere...
    So, to sum it all up...  Yes, I am still here.  Yes, I will take
offense if the group does fall from my control seeing all the trouble
I have had to go through with it recently.  Yes, the group should be
everywhere soon, a newgrp WAS sent out (another may be needed).
And I am sorry that the archives are a bit out of date, that will be
rectified along with the new group creation!
