In the future, these two ideas might conflict; today, though, I regard
this as a nonissue.  I just don't forsee more than 20 posts per day
being submitted to sci.physics.research.  

Some day in the future, when traffic grows by another order of
magnitude, we'll have to do something about it.  I don't know whether
that will mean tightening the standards for submission, or splitting
the group, or adding more moderators and just accepting a
higher-volume group, or something else.  I am sure, though, that I
don't want to solve the Usenet problems of 1995; we can solve them
when the time comes.

For now, I don't think we need to worry very much about this.  I think
it's about time for me to post the CFV, actually...  By now, I think
that most everybody has a good idea of what kind of group is being
proposed, and has had time to decide whether or not they want such a
group.
