I think I can, but I'd rather not.  My link is almost saturated now
(anyone want to buy me a faster one? ;-)

I already handle eight lists, two of which are news gateways (one is
just nh.test).

The usual problem with breaking up a newsgroup is selecting the new
grouping.  For example, why not c.o.m.d.workers, like the mailing
list?  Or c.o.m.d.announce, gated to the announce list?

Of course, then there's the hard splits - using djgpp apps vs creating
djgpp apps vs writing djgpp itself.

Another things - the more newsgroups you have, the more likely that
people will post to the wrong ones.
