Oh, I don't know, what about comp.sys.amiga.discuss.more.groups.of.same? ;^) I agree with John, let's keep what we got and not complicate things. If we spawn yet another group, then I'm still gonna want to read it 'cause it's about my favorite computer, and then more traffic will occur in the Amiga groups overall and then I will have even a harder time keeping up on all the articles about my favorite machine. I figure that if 100 articles are currently coming across the amiga groups now per day (just for arguments sake) and we add another group, I don't think that the portion of that 100 articles will just find it's way into that group for a continued total average of 100. I think we'll see MORE total articles, and personally, I DON'T WANT ANY MORE TRAFFIC. That may be a self centered, selfish reason... but hey, it's mine.:^) I'm for good content, less total numbers and proper direction of postings. Probably if discussions like this one or the one on who sued who in the industry didn't go on and on and on and on, we'd find the traffic volume wasn't so great to even warrent a discussion like this one in the first place. Thanks for the chance to express my opinons, now how about some decent thread to take the place of this one?

Having just read in todays paper that Commodore has decided to
drop the Amiga from its product line up, isn't it about time to
create comp.sys.orphans for it and various other computing flivvers ?
At the same time we can, I think, safely remove comp.sys.amiga
and .tech.

The message included above is a forgery. I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in the Amiga line of computers, and could care less about the Amiga groups. I know of no such newspaper article. If I had seen one, I would have cited newspaper, date, and page.
