- I second this sentiment. I'm tired of wading through all of the *other*
- *.bbs groups, trying to glean information on what Amiga sysops are doing,
- using
- , or just plain playing with!
-
- As long as we could keep the arguments over whether DLG is better than
- Xenolink or CNet or whatever, I think such a news.group would be beneficial.
-
- Of course, if such an argument broke out, we could all commit ourselves to
- ignoring the redundant stiff-necks! };>

- I too am ignorant about how to get the idea off the ground. However, I have
- noticed a FAQ on starting a new newsgroup or some such, in news.answers, so
- the next time I see I'llhave to snag it and give it a read.
-
- Sean, if you see this, I've saved your address, and if you like I can
- forward
- the FAQ to you when I find it. The same for anyone else you is seriously
- interested
- in such a project.
-
- Later, all!
