I could quote a ton from the proposal, but I think that would only waste
bandwidth. Instead, I will summarize: Chuq proposed a way to split
comp.sys.mac. Pretty quick summary, eh?

I don't have any problems with the proposal as it stands except for the fact
that comp.sys.mac.programmer isn't mentioned at all. This isn't necessarily
bad, since it could mean that Chuq's proposal wants to leave it alone. On
the other hand, I've always thought that comp.sys.mac.hypercard belonged
comp.sys.mac.programmer.hypercard. I know it's a long name, but it has an
intuitive feel to it for me. I'm not ready to call HyperCard hackers computer
scientists (and they probably aren't, either), but I don't think HC fits
anywhere else.

Ideas? Objections? Accolades?
