comp.sys.amiga.morphos newsgroup to be established? : Comment 51 of 63 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Johan Rönnblom on 18-Dec-2001 00:48 GMT | In reply to Comment 50 (PaulT): Yes, keeping it strictly "correct" would make usenet completely
useless imo. :)
I mean, nowadays more and more people using "Amiga" use emulators, so
comp.sys.amiga.* becomes more and more inappropriate, those people
should use comp.os.amiga.* instead. Then of course, a lot of the
discussion in comp.sys.amiga.misc is more "misc" than Amiga anyway, so
it should rather be comp.sys.misc.amiga or even comp.misc.sys.amiga or
comp.misc.os.amiga. And come on, comp.sys.amiga.marketplace, isn't
that often more about selling stuff than it is about Amiga? Surely a
lot of the posts there should rather go in something like
comp.marketplace.sys.amiga. Most posts in comp.sys.amiga.advocacy
would rather belong in comp.sys.advocacy.amiga,
comp.os.advocacy.amiga, comp.advocacy.sys.amiga,
comp.advocacy.os.amiga, comp.advocacy.amiga.sys or
comp.advocacy.amiga.os.
Yes. I do know a lot of these groups don't belong in the current
usenet hierarchy. But why not? Because even though it makes sense
*logically*, it doesn't fill its purpose. Groups are split up and
specialised when there is enough traffic to make that necessary, not
just because it makes sense logically. |
