- In the future, these two ideas might conflict; today, though, I regard
- this as a nonissue. I just don't forsee more than 20 posts per day
- being submitted to sci.physics.research.
-
- Some day in the future, when traffic grows by another order of
- magnitude, we'll have to do something about it. I don't know whether
- that will mean tightening the standards for submission, or splitting
- the group, or adding more moderators and just accepting a
- higher-volume group, or something else. I am sure, though, that I
- don't want to solve the Usenet problems of 1995; we can solve them
- when the time comes.
-
- For now, I don't think we need to worry very much about this. I think
- it's about time for me to post the CFV, actually... By now, I think
- that most everybody has a good idea of what kind of group is being
- proposed, and has had time to decide whether or not they want such a
- group.
