] Bjorn, perhaps there are a LOT of pc programmers, eh? Wonder what the
] ratio is of PC type owners is to Amiga/Sun/Apple/etc. That may make a
] difference...gee, that might even EXPLAIN it...

Pure speculation.  I know one thing about the Amiga - there are ALOT of
programmers making games for it, so I don't think that's the reason.  Also,
me thinks there is a majority of intelligent programmers on the net, hence
there is a minority of PC programmers. :)

Seriously, even if there WERE a majority of PC owners (and I don't think
there is considering what machines have Internet access) in this doomed
net-world, would that give them the right to post PC related issues on any
group?  Nah, you can do better than that.

I can't see why you're so stubborn, you deserve your own group - now get
it!  And "it's too much work" isn't exactly a very good excuse, especially
since the newsgroup wouldn't need to be moderated (it wouldn't be a good
excuse anyhow :)


Just trying to keep my KILL file empty and still get what I would expect
from my newsgroups,
