          Couldn't we just leave amiga/comp-amiga alone and utilize keywords
to filter things.  If you want it to be in hardware, just add "hardware" to
the keywords list.  Add multiple keywords if you wish.

          It seems there is some variation to the way UseNet is handled in
different places???   If this is true, are keywords normally available?

          If so we could do this on our own, as matter of convention, no
net-gods involved.


                                                        Thanks,


                                                                Wade.
