So, the vote was a success, the newgroup message has had time to filter around the net, and yet there hasn't been a single posting saying "Hey, RAD new group, DUDES!" ;-) So tell me, was it all worth the effort? Are there any sites that actually ADDED comp.sys.amiga.games, after all was said and done? If so, is connectivity good enough that traffic is arriving there?

It's a little wierd around here. We have the c.s.a.games feed on our Sun/SparcStation systems, but not on our Ultrix system. Maybe they just haven't gotten around to it. As for whether or not it's worth it, I think so. I'm very glad that I don't have to wade through hundreds of games messages when I'm looking for a specific topic in the c.s.a area. +------///-+------------------| BRETT KESSLER |------------------+-\\\------+ | /// | consp11@bingvaxu.cc.binghamton.edu | \\\ | | \\\/// | consp11@bingvaxa.BITNET | \\\/// | | \XX/ | (PeopleLink) B.KESSLER | \XX/ | +----------+-----------------------------------------------------+----------+

The stuff's been arriving at PORTAL for some time. The earliest unexpired
item still online is dated 3-Aug-1990, and the last screenful looks like
the "dump" appended to this response.

We've had it all along, it looks like traffic has been normal in the last couple of days. We have about 30 postings received here dated late Tuesday (08/28) or yesterday (8/29). It sounds like it isn't getting through to you. ---Mike, P.S. I'm sure it's a RAD news group, dude (f'r sure), although I never look at it (except to see if it is still there).
