So who will stick there neck out and see about doing this? >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >Eli Liang --- This discussion has been going on for a couple of weeks in net.games, but no one has cross-posted to net.news.group. I don't know how to start a new group, but it should be done to get fans of the two topics out of each others' hair. Who takes responsibility for this sort of thing? Gene Spafford seems to have a lot to do with it. Gene? What comes next? Would those people who wrote to me in favor of starting the new groups please follow up to this article? Or, may I have permission to post your e-mail replies?
