This point has come up several times in the past, but, for better or
worse, many people are reading comp.windows.x as a mailing list
(xpert).  Splitting one without splitting the other would be useless
and splitting a mailing list is more work than anyone is interested in
doing.

I'd suggest that you get a better news reader so that you can more
scan handle a large newsgroup.  I use xrn (contact ellen@ic.berkeley.edu 
or ricks@berkeley.edu) which works wonderfully.  It does require X, 
but this is a X group afterall.
