comp.sys.amiga.morphos newsgroup to be established? : Comment 36 of 63 | ANN.lu |

This is a valid observation, but not an issue at this time. We talked about all this before the CFV. The fact is that comps.sys.amiga.morphos is a good choice right now, and in no way rules out future groups in comp.sys.morphos hierarchy. We would just approach that when it becomes appropriate. There are other reasons for this name which were discussed a month ago during the RFD. It's all on the record.

That's right about the kernel. It's Ralph's Quark kernel, if I remember right.

That will certainly be a hot discussion topic, maybe the dominant topic. In thinking about proper Usenet hierarchy structure please don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Even considering the issues you raise, you admitted that comp.sys.amiga.morphos would indeed have a legitimate use. Please remember to vote. |
