	I can think of two good reasons why so many people are changing their
	votes...  so far, just about everything on comp.sys.amiga.tech is 
	cross posted from comp.sys.amiga .  I think it has already reached the
	point of no return (due to people blindly doing a reply from
	rn without editing the newsgroups it goes to).  This is *not* what
	Bryce had in mind when he originally suggested the idea.

	Secondly, considering the technical nature of the original newsgroup,
	many people became confused as to where they should post... amiga or 
	amiga.tech, and so posted to both.  So while each one of us might
	be able to break articles up into two catagories in hind site, it
	turns out not to be so easy in real time.  I wind up having to read
	both groups.

	I hope you all learned something about the net today.... people are
	people. In this case, only a very few people recognized the problem,
	and they were all shot down when they tried to explain it.
