[comp.arch] Splitting comp.arch into sub groups

mshute@r4.cs.man.ac.uk (Malcolm Shute) (06/27/90)

About a year ago, this august forum debated the merits of splitting into
about four sub-groups (comp.arch.performance, comp.arch.harware-issues,
comp.arch.language-issues, or whatever... I can't remember quite how it
went now).

I remember there were a number of objections, such as on the grounds
of there (so it was claimed) being too much common ground between the
suggested headings, and hence there would be no actual division of
traffic seen.

What *was* the final outcome of that discussion?  (I'm afraid I missed the
end of the thread due to Summer holidays).  Has anything changed to warrent
resubmitting the proposal?  I, for one, would welcome the introduction of
an extra filter such as this to help me to scan only the comp.arch articles
which are of direct interest to me.
