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
discussion going. Moving parts of the postings to specialised groups will
benefit no one.
