That's what the multiple votes are for. I'm not going to vote a blanket yes. I don't think c.s.m.games belongs (I think the rec.games hierarchy needs a restructuring, actually :-), so I vote against that. I think c.s.m.system belongs, so I vote for that. Simple, no? > This looks to me a way to fracture comp.sys.mac into littler peices with > only one beneficiary, chuq. Hardly. I'll benefit. When c.s.m.hardware was split off, I benefitted, because I'm not buying much in the way of hardware right now (so I can ignore it until I'm looking for hardware). With the "new" c.s.m hierarchy I can easily decide what groups to read now and what groups to defer. Right now I have a huge kill-file for c.s.m which makes it barely readable. -- Christopher Davis, BU SMG '90 <...!bu.edu!bu-pub!ckd> "Basic upshot - get your science straight, or start getting used to the taste of your Nikes." --Siobahn Morgan, thebang@blake.acs.washington.edu
