One problem with having lots of newsgroups is that lots of newsgroups
are confusing.  Creating newsgroup foo to keep people from discussing
the subject in newsgroup bar seems like a fine solution, but if you
apply it repetitively, you get more and more groups.  At some point,
you get too many groups for people to keep track of and they end up
discussing foo both in newsgroup foo and in newsgroup bar.
