   Wow, there seems to be more and more messages posted daily to
   comp.sys.next, half of which I am not interested in.  How about a call
   for votes on spliting the bboard into subgroups of the more common type
   of postings.

   I suggest:

   comp.sys.next.apps
   comp.sys.next.hardware
   comp.sys.next.music
   comp.sys.next.mach(or unix)
   comp.sys.next.networking
   comp.sys.next.programming

   Does any one else have any suggestions?

I don't think we need that many groups yet.  comp.sys.next.misc could
handle the traffic in a few of these groups.
