I do not believe this split will work.  Once all the discussions die down
and people are just going by the names of the newsgroups, I don't think
c.s.m.os will end up with much of anything except mac vs. ms-dos wars.
Do you really believe people will post comments about Public Folder
or SuperClock or any other useful init/cdev to a group named c.s.m.os
instead of c.s.m.app{s,l}?
