(...) Just to express the contrarian view: I think it is a bad idea. Too often I see subgroups created that languish due to a lack of volume. There's a certain "critical mass" needed to keep a group going, if one goes a week without postings, there (...) (25 years ago, 9-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I agree with you, Peter. Usually there are somewhere between 10 and 30 postings to this group per day. It shouldn't be too difficult to find the pneumatics postings among them. The daily number of postings as it is now is enough to keep a healthy (...) (25 years ago, 9-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I grasped the cross-link concept... so are you saying that "if" there were true subgroups that they would not post to the newsfeeds? I'm still a little confused... Looking at the posts just now I see that there are no subgroups currently... I (...) (25 years ago, 10-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics)
