I was initially opposed to splitting comp.sys.amiga. However it IS the highest
traffic group on the net. It would certainly look better on the regular traffic
reports if it were split (I'm sure the mac groups would beat it if they were
counted together, so this isn't just a pr campaign).

Suggestions:

	comp.sys.amiga.misc and comp.sys.amiga.guru

		I like this one just because of the name of the wizard group.

	comp.sys.amiga.500, cmp.sys.amiga.1000, and comp.sys.amiga.2000

		Often suggested. I think it stinks.

	comp.sources.amiga and comp.sources.amiga.d

		This would pull all the "bug in shell 2.05" stuff out of
		comp.sys.amiga. Probably the best solution. (The .d group
		would of course be unmoderated, and would serve the purpose
		of .bugs, .d, and .requests).

	comp.sys.amiga and comp.sys.amiga.newprod

		In the same vein as the above. Perhaps part of the problem
		is that stuff is being put in comp.sys.amiga that belongs
		in other groups? (no, I don't think so either)

	comp.sys.amiga.flames

		While popular, would undoubtedly be useless.

	comp.sys.peter.da.silva

		Has been suggested. Perhaps it should be changed to
		comp.sys.mike.meyers. (:->, in case you don't know)
