Yes, I saw the 180 or so line proposal. Quite a bit of work. Unfortunately,
and as I have indicated before, I saw nothing in the proposal that would
make me change my mind that splitting this newsgroup is a mistake. I, for
one, would certainly not be able to convince my Department to obtain these.
It was hard enough getting comp.sys.apple2 after the 2 was put in years ago.
So my response in a strong no.
 
Perhaps I am missing something...The group is too small to be fragmented
further.
