I would prefer not to split this group. Scanning the titles (with vn, not rn)
takes me a couple of minutes per day. I hardly miss a thing (I think), and do
not have to keep track of a large number of groups. Also, if you create, say, a
group about spreadsheets and one about word processors, then what happens to 
an article about moving data from Excel to Word. Does it get it's own group?
Or does it get cross-posted, thereby increasing the amount of articles you see?

This discussion perhaps, should be moved to another group, as it already 
accounts for some 10 percent of the articles... (:->)
