Mark, the proposed groups ont.micro, ont.micro.mac, and ont.singles are for
information specific to ONTARIO.  Why burden the net with text that is only
of interest to a local geographic area??  Only if people would use these groups
where it makes sense to.

Nuke the groups. The idea is to post to net.micro or net.singles with
a DISTRIBUTION of ``ont''. The ont groups were a good idea when there
was no distribution feature, but those days are long past...

I subscribe to ont.micro but not to net.micro.  I just don't have time to
read all the articles in net.micro, but I am interested in what people
locally have to say about micros.  The fact that articles are infrequent
in ont.micro means I stay subscribed to it.

As I understand "Distribution", it will require me to read net.micro in order
to get the same information I get in ont.micro.  (If I am wrong correct me.)

I vote for keeping ont.micro.
