Looks like it's a go.  However, the initial call for votes was about its
existence, and explicitly stated that its name would be decided later.
Furthermore, in the meantime, a comp.sys.amiga.tech group was created
that has poor propagation (though it *does* reach this site).

Speaking for myself, I feel that we should either name the group
comp.sys.amiga.wizards (in line with the precedent unix.wizards)
or, if we insist upon ignoring it as did comp.sys.mac.programmer,
at least pick a name that compliments CATS and other providers of
signal and will intimidate somewhat the atari-amiga flame warriors,
as well as having some connection with the Amiga's heritage.
`tech' does none of these things, and is an abbreviation to boot.

I suggest comp.sys.amiga.gurus, which I think has been suggested before.
When people have to think about `does it belong there', then they think
`am I a guru ?', or `did this cause a guru ?', which is about right.
