Demos?  Why is this newsgroup for discussion of demos only, when it's
called alt.SOURCES.amiga?

I think you are a little confused.  This is a general sources
distribution newsgroup for the Amiga.  There is another new alt
newsgroup called alt.amiga.demos  My guess is that you just got (or
someone who posted here previously) got confused between the two (both
came out at about the same time).

Hope this clears things up.

No, here alt.amiga.demos shows up under alt.sources.amiga.  I've tried
replying to an alt.amiga.demos news thread, but I always get an error
stating an illegal newgroup/does not exist.  I really would like to have
alt.amiga.demos here so I could participate in the discussions...

                                            Hope this gets straightened out,
                                                  Metahawk
                                                  metahawk@rpi.edu

actually it is because there are some news sites which are sending all the
alt.amiga.demos stuff into alt.sources.amiga.
