I'm inclined to say so, esp. since so much has been posted to this sub-tree

No, separate the discussions from these groups. It's extremely frustrating
to find source when it's scattered amongst ten times more messages
discussing it, discussing realted threads, discussing off-topic threads,
flaming, etc. If the followup-to were enforced, it'd be easier to find the
discussions related to the models, even if they were in a separate ng.

Someone noted over the weekend (1) that the .cad extension is not specific
