Do you mean Guru the noun, or Guru the verb? :-)

Really, though, all of the good tech stuff that comes through here is so
intertwined with everything else that I don't see a reasonable splitting
point.  Let's face it, the Amiga is one hell of a complex machine.  Unless
you're doing things at the most rudimentary levels (programming simple stuff
in BASIC), you're going to have to get at least somewhat familiar with
the machine.  Hey, this isn't Unix.  It's better!  And worse!

Our traffic level would drop sharply if all of us, myself included, would
just stop our whining in encyclopedic volumes.  It would also help if
people used the {sources,binaries} groups.  The Cron program posted here
recently, while *very* much appreciated, was probably larger than what the
author considered 'small.'  (I was just thinking about an analog to cron the
other day, and voila! here it is.  Now I won't have to take time from my
other project to write it.  Thanks!)

500, 1000, 2000 makes no difference.  A lot of software runs the same on all
of them.  Let's make our peace with each other and get back to doing some
creative stuff.  With all of the flaming going on here, we've overlooked the
important things, like, when is Leo going to post another fun, display hack?
Hey Leo, how about Flameroids? :-)  (Hemmorhoids?  Naw, too sick. :-)

Stop the flaming and our traffic level will drop.

Split up comp.sys.amiga?  Just say "NO!"
