  21.     I'm opposed to the idea of splitting this group.  The traffic here
  22. is very light (maybe 6-12 posts/day?), so it's not very difficult to weed
  23. out the ones I don't want to read.  Besides, I believe there is some
  24. cross-fertilizing benefit in having different kinds of writers share a
  25. forum.
