Years back, I subscribed to comp.sys.next.programming,
comp.sys.next./software, and comp.sys.next.advocacy.  It worked really
well.  The 'advocacy' group was the place for flame wars, defending
the honor of our superior engineering solutions, and general chat.;
the 'programming' and 'software' groups had specific enough titles to
be unlikely to atrract flames.  I've suggested this split a few times
in the last five years and don't know why people want to keep it in
one group.

But there's no point starting the official newsgroups creation
procedure if only two of us feel this way.

Thanks,

Andy
