I see that the number of messages on the D group is now greater than

will need dividing when the compiler comes out, to separate the ideas
debate from developing examples and reporting difficulties.

John,

I think you are right about that. As a matter in fact I wonder if it would
make sense to divide the group already... I discussed this with Walter when
I created the group on his request, but for at that moment we decided that
just one group would be fine for the time being. However, that that moment
was nor forseen that we would get Slashdotted!!!
I wonder what Walter's idea's are on this at this moment.

Thanks!
Jan

I think we already have too many groups now. I'm also reading other 
newsgroups and there a group is splitted only if there is too much 
traffic on subjects that could be debated in a (not yet existing) group. 
With messages below 50 a day per group a split isn't necessary.

Just my 2c,
