I think I speak for Geoff as well on this one, although I haven't
actually checked with him...  We're not so much opposed to it, as
utterly unconvinced that it will be worth the trouble.  A renamed
group for all the transport systems would make more sense.  n.s.b.
is hardly a high-volume group.  If n.s.c. splits off, probably half
the traffic will be cross-posted, and a good bit of what isn't
cross-posted will be stuff that *should* be.

We think it's kind of silly and pointless, but we are not going to
jump up and down about it, or stop answering postings in protest.
(We may get a bit terser about pointing people with routine problems
to either our documentation or the Nutshell handbook, but that will
happen anyway, for unrelated reasons.)  (Fatigue, mostly.)
