I like to read the biweekly news statistics (so I can catch myself if I climb
too high in the top 25!), but I'm not really interested in either reading or
"n"-ing through discussions of news software. Hence, I propose that the
statistics be split off into a group of their own (net.news.stats or something
similar), so that the news-software hackers can have their group (the existing
net.news) and we ordinary types can find out how much we're writing.

No, no, no!! A separate newsgroup for five or so articles that
come out every two weeks?! In a moderately-low-volume newsgroup, anyway?
No, no, no!!

I whole-heartedly support the creation of net.news.stats. Even
though the traffic volume would be low, there is a definite use for
such a newsgroup. It would certainly make my life easier.

We have been over this before, and the overwhelming concensus is that it would be a waste to create a new group for a few articles a month.
