I agree entirely.  It seems to be perfectly logical to break rec.pets into
rec.dogs, rec.cats, rec.birds, and rec.pets.misc.  This would give full
flexibility to the user to narrow down the topic of interest and avoid wading
through postings of little interest.  The few postings that are of a more
general interest could be appropriately crossposted.  I hope someone takes
up this issue and volunteers to organize a discussion followed by a vote.
