Hmmm - '.other' is a little too vague/nondescript and doesn't fit in
well with current net naming conventions. I suggest that we either
take the Mac group's route:

	comp.sys.amiga	comp.sys.amiga.tech <- here the former is the general group

or a 'typical' naming scheme:

	comp.sys.amiga	comp.sys.amiga.misc <- here the latter is the general group

I think the first suggestion is better, since people who want to start more
technical discussions can take the initiative to break off from the other group.
In the latter scheme, people will just continue posting to comp.sys.amiga like
they always have - we know how the net behaves, eh? ;-)
