I notice that google groups archives messages back to 9/15/1994.
Anyone know if the newsgroup existed before then?
Are posts archived elsewhere before 1994 (if they exist)?

1994 sounds right. This group was split off from sci.astro back then to
get away from the endless arguments about various lunatic pet
astrophysical theories. This move made room for the endless arguments
about GOTO, refractors, etc. ;-)


Will there be another split for "S.A.A.A" (sci.astro.amateur.astromart)?

You know, to make room for endless arguments about...ah...stuff.

There will be a split, but it will be "S.A.A.L." (
sci.astro.amateur.libs).:-)
