] Bjorn, perhaps there are a LOT of pc programmers, eh? Wonder what the

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,
