There is a problem in that a wanted group would get very limited

readership as there are very few people out there just waiting for the

chance to rummage through their old floppy collection to mail someone

a pointer or a program.  Since the volume of this group is within

reason (that is, it does not take more than 10 minutes a day to keep

up), I think that there is no need to split up the group.  How many of

you would read through a list of "looking for" articles?  Be

honest!:-)
