I don't think it's a good idea.  The volume of postings in net.bicycle
doesn't warrent splitting the newsgroup.  I'm not a racer, but I don't
mind reading postings related to racing.  As you point out yourself, Patrick,
non racers may want to read about training.  If not, the 'n' key is always
there, and I think most people in this group write good, descriptive Subject
lines.

In any case, I think bicylists should stick together, in communities brought
together via computer as well as elsewhere.  Let's not fragment our
readership and participation.  I enjoy net.bicyle more than other
newsgroups: postings tend to be informative, lively, and to the point,
and free from the silly bickering and wordplay that are common in some
other groups.  We've got a good thing going here; let's not mess with it.
