So who will stick there neck out and see about doing this? > -eli I think that splitting net.games into two groups is the right idea. Then, net.games should be retired as it will no longer serve a purpose. As I initiated this discussion (more or less), I will send another request to net.news.group, and bug our sysman about it. I would hope that all of you out there will also send some sort of support to net.news.group too, so that our moderators might take notice. Dan Gold ...ucbvax!ucdavis!minnie:ccrdan
