(Not disagreeing; just playing devil's advocate and collecting data...)

Is the topic of sensors (homebrew or otherwise) something that would benefit
from a more focused group?  Are there discussion threads about sensors which
peter-out or get lost in the main group or go off-line to private email
because people feel they're getting too off-topic or esoteric?  Do the sensor
über-gurus like MichaelG wish that they had a separate group/list for this?

It looks like sensors sure get mentioned a lot, in any case...

I guess I vote to keep it together, at this level of daily posts.. If we get like sci.electronics.design then we can worry about it. If we DID make a separate list, I would suggest it be HOMEBREW to cover all user-designed and built Sensors AND (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.admin.general)
