	Just as an aside, but a group called comp.sys.att.3b1 would be
pretty useless to us 3b1 or PC7300 owners, we could read it but it would
be saved as "comp.sys.att." 'cause we only got 14 characters for a file
name!  
	Seriously though, I think this echos a problem for a lot of us.
Are the groups getting so large that we require a split?  If so then we
will see more and more multiple postings to groups that other folk just
"don't get".  This may save the individual reading time but loads the
net up with mucho duplicate traffic.
