Somebody thought the amiga group split needed some help, so they've newgrouped all the groups they want. If you are reading this (i.e the stupid idiot who did the newgroup), would you PLEASE remove these groups. You are doing this discussion a great deal of harm. When these new group eventually get legally formed, people will think they are jokes as well and remove the legitimate ones. Look what happened to comp.sys.amiga.games and the problems it had. I suggest everybody should e-mail the person who issued that control message and tell them exactly what you think of them (well, at least tell them what I think of them).

More than that, we need actually to get a vote past the whole USENet community, not just the Amiga groups. Get enough of them mad, and people who could care less about how these groups are divided up will vote against any proposal just out of spite. > I suggest everybody should e-mail the person who issued that control >message and tell them exactly what you think of them (well, at least tell them >what I think of them). Please _don't_! The person listed as the author of the control articles was not the responsible party, and is thoroughly sick of email flames already (go read news.admin for details).
