Here we go again.

I feel that the traffic in comp.sys.ibm.pc has grown so much that
we should think about breaking it into two (or more) newsgroups.
We have talked about it in the past but haven't made any decisions.

The problem has been (my opinion) that we have called for the
creation of umpteen different newsgroups.  I read this newsgroup
daily and find that the postings can be divided into two main groups -
those related to programming and those not related to programming.
Based on this I think we should create another newsgroup called
comp.sys.ibm.pc.programming (or something similar).  This would
serve the purpose of greatly reducing the postings that everyone
has to wade through (not to mention the wear and tear on your 'n' key).

I am posting this to comp.sys.ibm.pc and news.groups with followups
directed to news.groups.  Once we decide whether we need to create
a new group, I will be willing to take votes.  (DON'T send me your
votes yet).
