I agree. The .space newsgroup has always been just fine w/o the subgroups.
Plus, has anyone ever really felt the need for .space subgroups? Even if
someone actually did want them, I also agree that having them arranged by TLG's
subthemes is worthless. Why not have subgroups like "constructing" and
"concepts", etc., if there are to be any subgroups at all? Let's just not use
the subgroups. I figure, .space is fine as is, and subgroups are simply to be
ignored.
