Today, in newsgroup "control", this happy stork offering was seen from the moderator of news.announce.newgroups: <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> |=| From vsi1!daver!mips!synoptics!bionet!lear Mon Aug 20 22:33:29 PDT 1990 |=| Article: 11274 of control |=| Path: zorch!vsi1!daver!mips!synoptics!bionet!lear |=| From: lear@genbank.BIO.NET (Eliot) |=| Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga.ctl,control |=| Subject: newgroup comp.sys.amiga.games |=| Message-ID: <Aug.20.15.53.05.1990.8650@genbank.BIO.NET> |=| Date: 20 Aug 90 22:53:05 GMT |=| Control: newgroup comp.sys.amiga.games |=| Followup-To: comp.sys.amiga.ctl |=| Organization: GenBank Online Service |=| Lines: 17 |=| Approved: lear@genbank.bio.net |=| |=| From: xanthian@zorch.sf-bay.org (Kent Paul Dolan) |=| Date: Tue, 17 Jul 90 10:04:59 PDT |=| Keywords: posted |=| |=| Purpose: to provide a separate forum for the games discussions now occuring |=| in other Amiga newsgroups. |=| |=| Name: the name of the proposed group will be comp.sys.amiga.games. |=| |=| Charter: discussions of game play, game availability, and game quality |=| for the Commodore Amiga computer family. |=| |=| Status: unmoderated |=| |=| Per requests during the discussion period, discussions of game design and |=| game programming will not be included, but left in comp.sys.amiga{,tech} |=| as at present. |=| |=| <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> If you don't see comp.sys.amiga.games at your site by the time you see this, it is time to start convincing your sysops and newsfeed sites that the only way a filter group can get the games articles out of comp.sys.amiga and into comp.sys.amiga.games is if all sites that carry comp.sys.amiga also carry comp.sys.amiga.games. I've done my part, the rest is up to you and your sysops. Please _do_ start using the group for your games postings, and do _stop_ crossposting them to comp.sys.amiga, as soon as the group is in place at your site. Thanks again to the _hundreds_ of people who took the time to vote on the creation of comp.sys.amiga.games! Kent, the man from xanth. <xanthian@Zorch.SF-Bay.ORG> <xanthian@well.sf.ca.us>
