    Hi,

    There are 2 other AMIGA areas on the nomination to be removed from the NAB and WWB backbones. I think we can let this happen, because they had very little traffic for months, and both have alternatives: for AMIGA_LC this would be AMIGA_PROG, and for AMIGA_SALE we have AMIGASALE. (Why these two last areas both exists is a mistery to me...)

    Bye, Wilfred.

    be removed next week. Some aren't already in WWB list and others had in
    fact negligible traffic as can be observed in 12months published stats
    some days ago:

    Yo Nab!

    As current moderator of the following 56 echos I would like to ask for the removal of these echos which have had very minimal traffic if any for the
    past 12 months. Thank you.

    AMIGA_SALE

    thay most likely made in good intention :-)


    ...In any collection of data, the figure most obviously correct,
    beyond all need of checking, is the mistake.

    G'day Wilfred,

    AFAIK, AMIGA_LC hasn't seen any traffic in over a year. I used to carry it, but
    eventually got tired of not seeing any traffic and removed it here. Who uses (used) Lattice C anyway? I think the compiler went out of distribution over ten
    years ago.

    AMIGA_SALE was setup as an alternative to Holly's AMIGASALE when distribution broke down some years back. AMIGASALE has since returned to the Sullivan family
    at least. (hi Todd!)

    And if it weren't for Neil's ARexx postings here we'd probably be dead in the water too.

    Cache Ya,

    There was 1 message in april and 1 in may... Atleast on my link to it.

    I suppose discussions about it's successor SAS would also be possible in AMIGA_LC ?

    These messages might help too! ;)
