I suspect a more profitable split would be comp.lang.pascal and
comp.lang.pascal.turbo.  I know if I wasn't a Turbo Pascal programmer, I'd
be pretty annoyed by 10 messages all on the single topic of how to clear the
keyboard buffer in a particular implementation of Pascal under a particular
operating system.  More than half of the discussion here is Turbo-related,
or so it seems to me.  I suspect that the volume of TP discussion drives out
any messages relating to other Pascal implementations and/or generic Pascal
issues.

No, I don't want to handle any formal group splitting proceedings...
