I agree.  It would be nice for the target, benchrest and accuracy
content to go up in this group, but I don't think it warrants 
another group.  I have basically the same dis-interest in a lot
of subjects as the poster who started this thread, but I find
that with traffic of only 20-40 articles a day (since this is
a moderated group), it is relatively easy to scan through topics
and ignore those of no interest.  Maybe the original poster's
problem is the user-interface of his news-reader.  I currently
use "gnus" in Emacs, but previously used "vn" and both of these
allow ease of scanning large groups with little material of
interest.
