How about a new newsgroup "net.micro.atari.ST"?

Soon the new Atari ST will be coming out. And I am sure those
of you with old atari's don't want to see all the gab about the
new atari ST. And those who do want to hear about the Atari ST
don't want to hear about the old Ataris.
So what do you guys say, a new newsgroup called
'net.micro.atari.ST' or 'net.micro.st' ?
or not?

I don't think this newsgroup has sufficient traffic to split
it up.  So I vote "no" to net.micro.atari.st

Instead of a new group, why not have the ST owners use the net.micro.mac?
I say this because the new operating system is to be run in the same vain
as the Mac from Apple (please excuse the dirty word).

I think a new newsgroup is called for.

net.micro.mac has a lot of traffic, and postings regarding the ST will
initially be too elementary and general for old mac users.

net.micro.atari is inappropriate partly for the same reason, and partly
because the ST is so different from the existing Atari machines.

I think creatng a newsgroup for a machine that isn't even being sold yet
is premature; I would suggest waiting a month or two before creating the
group.

In the meantime, some discussion of the ST in this group is not likely to
be a problem for anyone.

It looks like quite a nice machine, though of course I'll reserve judgement
until I have a chance to play with one (probably next month).
