The volume of this group is not overly high and there is no danger (so far)
of UNIFY affectionados having to "n" through the torrents of ingress
articles... Besides (I could be wrong on this!) most people would probably
not mind seeing discussions of databases different from the ones they are
currently using. Kind of puts things in a different lite...

I'd vote against subdividing net.database just on the basis of the above
two reasons... At least until the volume in this group reaches the
net.micro.* volumes (;-).
DISCLAMER: The opinions expressed above do not necessarily reflect those of UCLA
or it's emloyees and faculty. The might not even  be mine for all I know...
