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.

Intersting that I use the F key to reply in "rn".  :-)
