*What about the splitting rec.autos into the following two groups? 

*	rec.autos
*	rec.autos.foreign

i'm not sure that this would be especially effective.  in the
long term, something vaguely similar to it might naturally
occur, though, as various mailing lists mature and move up
to group status; we might then find ourselves with

rec.autos.british
rec.autos.italian
rec.autos.swedish

etc.  i know that when and if the italian-cars list ever gets
to be unmanageably large, i will certainly consider trying to
get rec.autos.italian created.  i suspect that the british-cars
list is unmanagebly large now, but Jim Muller (the list administrator)
wants to keep it a list for the present.
