Concerning splitting comp.sys.amiga using keywords:

	No way will it work, sorry.  Many, many people who read news
(quite possibly the majority) can't use keywords at all, let alone construct
filters using them.  If it is ignored to any great extent (which it would
be) it becomes useless, or almost so.

	We're splitting comp.sys.amiga into 2 groups now.  If volume in the
future requires it, we'll split it into more as required, when the need is
shown.  Note that one of the reasons for this 'keyword split' may well be
that the person who suggested it doesn't use rn, and thus has no 'k' key
or kill files (if I remember readnews correctly, which he mentioned).

	I have removed comp.misc from the distribution line of this article.
