It seems to me that there should be two boards, misc.writing.fiction,
and misc.writing.non-fiction.  While some issues are common, they really
are very, very different.  There seems to be about even discussion of
entertainment and technical writing in this group and it is pretty
active.  Just a suggestion.  Any option?
