There seems to be some misunderstanding about what I was proposing
so I'd like to expand on it. I am not proposing a newsgroup or even
a mailing list. I am exploring the interest in publishing, maybe
once a quarter or so, a list of applications engineers and their
electronic mailboxes. We would encourage sites to get direct uucp
links to "amd" so that we would not rely on our neighbors forwarding
such correspondence.

It is not clear how the list would be distributed. Perhaps in net.micro,
perhaps as a mailing list mentioned in mod.newlists. Perhaps the list
would only be known by word of mouth. All this is to be worked out
depending on the responses received.
