Does anyone think this group needs splitting into subgroups?

My observation is, people refuse to be educated about crossposting. See
comp.sys.net-abuse, news.admin.censorship for the absurdist conclusion
to this argument.

Now we're talking. I like the way com.sun.managers works. Anyone can post, but
no follow-ups. If you know something about the request, you e-mail the poster
directly. The original poster then puts together a summary and posts that. The
summaries are a very useful source of info.

I assume this is moderated by a bot, so no-one has to be responsible for it.
