So I suggest that we not split this group until we get on the top 25 list. If we reach it (and reach it by not deliberately flooding this group) that would show the world the importance of NeXT. On the other hand, NeXT would also seem important if we had lots of subgroups, but not if each of the subgroups contained only a few messages each. Of course, interest in NeXT may never reach the level of alt.sex.pictures, or of groups discussing the situation in the middle east. But I would find it interesting to see comp.sys.next amongst the top 25, even at the bottom. Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
