As someone as allready pointed out the solution for noise ratio is a better
newsreader, like trn for instance. 

IMHO the faq plays also an inportant role in that aspect. But please don't
start creating new newsgroups only because the majority of the postings don't
interest you directly.

That said I think that the comp.graphics group as today enough people 
interested in the comp.graphics.research area reading it so that a group to
debate those themes would be a good idea.

However do keep in mind that if the group is not moderated that will not
remove "noise" .
