     I really don't think we should have a .hack type newsgroup. I can
see a comp.sys.hp.calcs due to the amount of traffic, but I wouldn't
want to see it broken up any more than that. I don't want to have to
go to two or three different newsgroups just to get  information
on what should really be one subject. IMHO, there really isn't THAT
much hack type stuff out there to warrant this anyway; we're not
exactly overrunning the newsgroup.
     Let's face it. If a .hack type  newsgroup spins off, you KNOW you're
going to read both, anyway. And if I were a poster, I'd have to decide
where it should go. Suppose I find some out some neat undocumented thing.
Gee, do I post this to 'hacks' or the regular newsgroup? I'd probably
post it to both, in this case. Food for thought.
