The voting for this group has a long and tortured history. Compared to creating a group, however, changing the name is easy. >I suggest comp.sys.amiga.gurus, which I think has been suggested before. >When people have to think about `does it belong there', then they think >`am I a guru ?', or `did this cause a guru ?', which is about right. The distinction I wish to see is "Am I creating some new {software,hardware}?". ".tech" is for the Bit Twiddling & Structure-Swapping crowd to work out how to best twiddle & swap on the Amiga. "How to get CMD_READ to work in my new harddisk.device", "Here's how to write a virus" would be acceptable. >>> BEGINNER'S QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME in .tech, provided that <<< >>> they are about how to get things done, programatically <<< >>> speaking. <<< ".amiga" is for discussion on a less arcane level.

I don't know, I think that there is going to be alot of time spent in this
group sending messages like:
" If you want to ask questions about when 1.4 is going to be released,
please confine you postings to comp.sys.amiga "
Of course I might be wrong...
