- Hmmm... Has its good and bad points. Good being that one only has to read a
- single group to get ideas/support for his/her BBS package. Bad because of
- all the extra groups - (Not that I mind, I already have almost 1300 here, a
- few more wont hurt). Another problem I see is this group has a large
- collection of authors and users. If you split it up, everyone goes back into
- their own corners, and doesn't talk to one-another. Either that, or there
- will be a lot of cross-posting.
