- From the last message that I saw on c.b.a2 this morning, I think that
- there is another way to stop the posting of non-binary messages to
- c.b.a2.

- This person looked for a discussion group, but couldn't find a
- DISCUSSION group that is specifically for c.b.a2. I believe that
- this would be a good thing, to create a comp.binaries.apple2.d.
-
- The good things that would become of this would include:
-
- o Less traffic on c.s.a2 of people requesting reposts,
- posting problems, or asking for help.
-
- o Better organization of c.b.a2 in that (theoretically)
- people would stop posting messages containing ONLY text to
- c.b.a2.
-
- o Easier to find information or help about a certain program
- that has been posted than wading through the load of messages
- on c.s.a2.
-
- Although, this also might not work. In other binaries groups with
- discussion groups, like alt.binaries.sounds.misc, most of the
- discussion takes place in the .d group but some still stays in the
- binaries group. This would also mean one more group to read for
- readers of many groups. However, I feel the pros outweigh the cons
- so it is worth a try.
-
- Does anyone else believe the same way I do? If so speak up! Tell
- us why you think this would work or why it wouldn't work. Tell me
- if this has already been tried before! (I'm pretty sure it hasn't)
- If the readers of c.s.a2 think that this is worth trying, mail me.
- If enough people think the same way I do about this I will go to
- news.newgroups to figure out how to do a proposal and RFD. <grin>
