John Mashey comments:
| Maybe it's time for another newsgroup.  On looking back on the last few
| years, I observe that there are at least 3 distinct kinds of discussion:
| 	a) Pure architectural questions, opinions, information
| 	b) Performance analyses
| 	c) Economic and/or industry-structure discussions; competitive
| 	arguments over non-architecture issues.

  Ok, how about a breakdown into architecture and performance-measurement?
It seem that there is enough traffic to make such a split viable...
