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.
