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. >And please, don't start flaming on this. I can just hear the flames now, >which is why I'm trying very hard to be diplomatic about the wording here. Intersting that I use the F key to reply in "rn". :-) -- Like wow... This be a .sig, eh?
