While I did not find this response all that reassuring ("Real Soon Now"),
upon checking I find that the "comp.sources.amiga" group was indeed created
sometime in the last three weeks. (Everybody should add it to their list
of subscribed newsgroups in "rn" to keep an eye on it).

Upon finding that Craig has posted some moderated stuff to this group,
I will post a public apology to him. Until then, it is still vaporware,
but I'm willing to wait a while longer if everybody else is.

But Craig, it sure would be nice if you'd let us know what's going on,
rather than waiting for flames before you speak up. I, for one, would be
somewhat reassured by periodic progress reports. And you might get some
moral support, while that is unlikely to happen so long as you remain silent.
