I suggest you leave things the way they are.  In my opinion, this newsgroup
just doesn't have the bandwidth to be split up, and plenty of us are 
interested in all of the issues.

Sure, I have to wade through messages I'm not interested in, but pressing
'k' doesn't seem to take too long, and if it takes too much time for you,
perhaps you need to start building a kill file or something.

No, until this newsgroup really takes off, I'm a vote for leaving it
the way it is--'unbroke'.
