Ok, I agree with you Bryce, we should have it set up as comp.sys.amiga
and comp.sys.amiga.wizards, I can see that as a logical distinction.
I think the wizards distinction would really limit the postings to
Matt, Chuck, Marco, Dave, Bob, Leo, Bryce, Andy, George, Dan(s), 
Jimm and Duck, and Boom!  comp.sys.amiga empties out! (:') Well, that
is the bulk of the top 20 posters, so comp.sys.amiga would be easier
to keep up with for those looking for printer drivers and such, and
the bit twiddling discussions could get more intense.
