Whoever is counting, here is another vote for net.games.atari (or
whatever).

As for the name, are we compelled to keep the "games" part?  Mark 
Horton suggested net.games.vcs, but there were subgroup problems.  How
about net.vcs, then subgroups could be net.vcs.atari, etc.

While I'm on the subject, I have a problem.  It seems a heavy fingered
lout (no names, please) misaligned the connector and plug while trying
to hook in my atari's right joystick, and managed to break off one of the
pins in the male socket.  Now I have a right joystick that can move, but
the "fire" button does not work (yep, just happened to be that pin).  
Can anyone tell me where I could find a replacement socket?  I'm sure I 
could install it myself, and would rather not have to send it off and pay 
someone to do it.  Until I get the problem taken care of, two player games
will be unpopular, and predictably unfair.
