Please add a new newsgroup

I think the time has come to add a new newsgroup to reduce the noise
here a bit.
What about adding a new newsgroup like
borland.public.delphi.we_want_64bits
or
borland.public.delphi.petitions
It would give folks who want to discuss the topic plenty of room and a
focussed way of discussing the matter.

Heh, I feel your pain, but how about these groups instead--
borland.public.delphi.database.win64
borland.public.delphi.language.basm.amd64
borland.public.delphi.language.delphi.win64
borland.public.delphi.nativeapi.win64
borland.public.delphi.rtl.win64
borland.public.delphi.vcl.components.using.win64
borland.public.delphi.vcl.components.writing.win64
(Oh, and a press release announcing a native 64-bit Delphi product
would go great with these too. ;))

Fine with me. But I do not understand why you would need separate
newsgroups for those. According to many posts here in non-tech, there
is almost no difference between Win32 and Win64 (besides some
neglectable pointer issues). <g>

Maybe a
borland.public.delphi.non-tech64
would be enough?

Re:Please add a new newsgroup

How 'bout:
borland.public.delphi.INeedALife
borland.public.delphi.MyMotherNeverPaidMeEnoughAttention
borland.public.delphi.Denniland
borland.public.delphi.DontPlayWellWithOthers
borland.public.delphi.64BiteMe
 

Re:Please add a new newsgroup

Wow, hurtful, and doesn't contribute anything. I would suggest taking a que from
the NexusDB groups and adding:
borland.public.delphi.wishlist.no.guarantee
