I agree, it wouldn't hurt to split Comp.sys.mac, but I think that you are
splitting into too many fragmants. I would suggest:
comp.sys.mac.hypercard -for all hypercard related discussions
comp.sys.mac.programming -for questions and discussions about any
non-hypercard programing on the Mac
comp.sys.mac - for all hardware, system, and non-programming
application questions and discussions.
Comp.sources.mac.hypercard -for posting of stackware
comp.binaries(or sources).mac - combine comp.sources.mac and comp.binaries.mac
as there does not seem to be enough activity
to justify both.
I feel that this kind of split would be a better fit as to what people would
be apt to read.There are many people who read comp.sys.mac who are not
interested in programming and once the hoopla dies down probably would not be
interested in reading about Hypercard. But I think that many people are
interested in learning and discussing old and new Macs as well as their
applications. I'm not convinced that there is a large natural split of
interests there. Comp.sources.mac just has not shown any appriciable
activity. Almost all the posting has been on comp.binaries.mac.
