- Personally I prefer ".crpg" because it defines the genre better:
- These are games that are called COMPUTER Role Playing Games and they
- are *different* that a real RPG. But I'm not fussy about this one.

-
- No. Flight simulators deserve their own group. There is a lot of
- traffic on Falcon et. al. Other "simulators" (and how many are there
- really?) can probably go in ".strategic" or ".misc".
-
- >'.announce' should be '.info',
-
- Net.convention would call it ".announce". Anyway, ".announce" has a
- better ring to it because it emphasizes the fact that this group is
- only for important posts (FAQ, GameBytes announcements).
-
- >and a '.sports' should be added.
-
- Is there really enough traffic to justify such a group? I doubt it,
- but if there is, OK. Remember, we can always add more groups later,
- but it is next to impossible to remove a group.
-
- >And '.strategic' should be '.strategy'. Nit pick.
-
- Nope. ".strategic" makes it clear that the group is for discussion of
- strategic games, not gaming strategies in general.
