Bob page posted the following to news.group, without crossposting.
Since he didn't notify the bulk of the people interested, there hasn't
been much discussion there. I'm correcting that flaw - but not to
generate discussion!

Rather than following the standard procedure (debate in news.group), I
prpose the following: Send me mail. If you wish comp.sys.amiga split,
give a proposed split and reasons. If you don't want it split, say so.
I'll post the results of this "straw poll" to comp.sys.amiga.

If things seem to be for a split, we can discuss it on comp.sys.amiga,
then go to news.group with a "we'd like it split this way," and not
burden the readers of that group with the discussion of it. On the
other hand, if people seem to be opposed to a split, it'll stop there.
