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>
