Although 'splintering' will probably eventually be a necessity, it is
exactly the fact that I have to wade through ***everything*** that I find
appealing.  The distribution and degree of response to topics in itself is
of interest to me, and I find myself interested in the oddest postings, ones
which I would not have selected in advance.

I would like to see a single forum as long as is possible, even if Listers
have to devise their own methods of selection and preference.

One solution might be to have a splintering option for subscription?  In
other words, choose one or more groups and have the server do the necessary
concatentation.  At least that way there will be some generalists left...
