To add to that comment, can people stop posting proposals about how
to split the group?  It is increasing the load for naught.  Unless you
have a serious proposal and volunteer to do all the necessary steps
of creating new newsgroups (that is to say take votes, and then do
the red-tape to get the usenet gods to agree to carry new groups)
don't post anymore on this subject.

	Apparently Mr. Chesnais has never heard of freedom of expression!!!!
	People don't have to do "something" to be allowed to do "something
	else", or vice-versa, stop doing "something" if they're not going to
	do "something else".

	What is involved in registering new groups in net-land?
	Could someone please send me this info!
