   Just another vote againt split.

I'm for comp.sys.hp48 and comp.sys.hp48.d as proposed recently.  The
reasons are simple.

1.  The proposed groups (finally!) make sense - the 48 is a computer
and is too popular to be lumped into the catchall category of
handhelds. 

2.  If we do the split, we won't have to wade through all the "pro
split", "con split", "let's split it my way," etc. posts that have
been choking c.s.h. with crap for a month.  This is the argument I'd
like to remind the people who are against the split of - this issue
won't go away.

3.  As a 48 user, I resent having to actually read an article before I
know it's not for the 48 - for all I know, the Psion is a HP48 rom
card.  :-)  :-)

4.  Arguments have been made that when the 48 becomes obsolete, its
newsgroup will dry up and blow away.  If so, let it.  But I'm willing
to bet there's still an Apple II newsgroup....
