Yes, I have heard in the past that splitting the comp.os.linux
newsgroup into several newsgroups would not work, but I think that
when people have to wade through 150 articles a day, it might be time
to split them up. The number is never going to go down and doing it
sooner might be better than later.
I don't really know about appropriate subdivisions, but here is an
idea.
comp.os.linux.announce
comp.os.linux.apps
comp.os.linux.misc
comp.os.linux.programmer
comp.os.linux.setup
the only other one would be comp.os.linux.advocacy, but I'm not
certain that many newsgroups would be a good idea.
My main intention in this post is to start a little discussion on
something that is long overdue. Have a good day..
