I wonder if it is time to create a group along the lines of
"Talk.Apple.{Politics, Religion, ???}; a group to redirect all of the
Apple v. IBM, 68k is better than 80x86/no it isn't, Apple is Evil, et
cetera, ad nauseum, 'discussions' into.

I think that most of us agree that the newsgroup is too large, and
needs to be split... the question is: Where?

Anyway, this is not a formal proposal for a new group, just an idea
tossed out at random.

I don't suppose that you could answer some of your questions, could
you?  (No, I don't really expect answers)
