Splitting this group would be silly. First, the trafic is way too low even
to begin to justify it. I believe this list is also a newsgroup. A split
would never make it through the net.gods. Second, EndNote is too similar
across platforms to warrant a split. If I have a general EndNote question,
which group would I post to? Why should I forced to choose?

A better split would be an endnote list and a second SplitEndnote list
where we could discuss splitting the group---something that is needlessly
using a lot of bandwidth.

What IS needed is a little restraint on the part of the participants. Don't
reply to the group as a whole unless you really need to. If you have a
Niles question, ask Niles directly, not the group.

If Niles has an EndNote FAQ, then this should be sent to all new
subscribers as well as periodically posted to the net.

The suggestions of adding DOS/Mac in the header are also good.
