Anyone who even suggests splitting these kinds of groups up and putting
them on alt.whatever should be reminded that, NOT ALL OF US RECEIVE ALT
GROUPS. So please don't even think about it. With the traffic on the
net increasing so rapidly the alt groups will be one of the first to be
dropped from many sites.
Just my two cents worth, sorry for shouting :-)
