   mgcbo@uxa.ecn.bgu.edu (Charles B. Owen) says:
|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?

There is some overlap, and many readers like to read both (and might
not be able to).  But the main reason _not_ to split the group is that
there is not all that much traffic now.  When the number of daily
postings grows substantially it will be time to divide this group.

My opinion, of course.
