Argh. Look, take a gander at what has happened over in comp.sys.mac.  They
have split off comp.sys.mac into *four* other groups, mac.digest, mac.hypercard
mac.programmer, and most recently, mac.hardware.

These splits took place because there was too much traffic for the people
to sift through.  I've seen the number of articles on comp.sys.apple
skyrocket in the past couple months;  it *is* getting harder to sift
through all the other articles, whether they be "I can't get KERMIT to work,"
or bitching and moaning about Apple Co. non-activity.  

There is a precedent for this; so what's the problem?  Sure, the traffic
may not be great, but that's far better than sifting through 100+ articles
to find the answer to your question, eh?
