Crossposting to comp.sys.amiga is irritating at worst. It affects me not at all... I unsubscribed to the base group. Splitting it into .programmer and .hardware wouldn't be a split at all. Where would discussions of MMUs go? Can you say crossposted to both? I knew you could. Besides, a good deal of the hardware discussion is consumerist, not technical at all. "What's the best SCSI adaptor for the Amiga 2000" doesn't belong in a technical group. A non-technical hardware group to pull the last remaining trash out of .tech would do just fine. And it's a minimal change... -- `-_-' Peter da Silva. +1 713 274 5180. . 'U` Also or .
