Occasionally new users also try and advocate for creating new groups on specific sub-topics because they're not comfortable posting about those topics in the more general groups that already exist, so that argument for a longer/shorter group list sways both ways. Appeal to some new users and you'll disappoint others - it's just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Also it's almost certain that those new users who do complain about too many, rather than not enough, groups are really talking about all the alt.* (etc.) groups carried by the server they're using. Trimming out groups from comp.* is never going to make a meaningful change compared to all those, so you might as well retain them and not have some new user asking for an "alt.386bsd" just because they can't see for themselves that nobody would talk to them there anyway. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
