Welcome to comp.sys.amiga.misc!
The new newsgroups have arrived! Use them in good health!
Please try to get your conversations sorted out into the new groups
as quickly as possible, by editing the Newsgroups: and Followups-To:
lines on everything you post for the next few weeks. After that,
things should take care of themselves.
This group is meant to hold the conversations that don't fit comfortably
into any of the other groups, the followups from crossposted articles,
and articles that would otherwise be crossposted. Those who follow the
Amiga groups by email would really appreciate minimal crossposting,
since they continue to get multiple copies of everything crossposted.
Use this group instead.
Eventually, comp.sys.amiga will go away as a posting target, and this
group will be the remaining target for "generic" Amiga postings.

(List of new and changing Amiga newsgroups, deleted)
Were there any proposed groups that didn't make it?
All the newsgroups voted upon passed; there were probably that many or
more names/groups proposed in the various CFD's and discussions that
never made it to the vote stage.
I've pointed followups to comp.sys.amiga.misc, since at some unspecified
but probably near time in the future, comp.sys.amiga will become just a
hierarchy node, no longer elegible for posting. I invite everyone else
to do the same when following up articles in this group: pick one of the
new groups for the topic and make an entry on the followups line and the
newsgroups line to put your response and all subsequent articles in the
other group. It will be a lot less traumatic if comp.sys.amiga and
comp.sys.amiga.tech are idle when they are withdrawn.
I'm not a sysop, but from the evidence, there are no aliases from c.s.a
to c.s.a.misc and from c.s.a.tech to c.s.a.programmer, or those two
groups would be much busier than at present; I don't know where in the
transition process this is supposed to happen, or if Eliot Lear has
taken on the job of doing so, or even if he can without intervention by
each local sysop.
By the way, there is a certain amount of low level muttering about
adding still more newsgroups. I suggest this be deferred for at least a
year while the existing groups settle in a bit and we see how these
work. We still haven't done the deletions, and the folks using
amiga-relay are reporting some problems getting their subscriptions
straightened out, which I've take a little email action to try to
relieve with the help of the relay operator.
