I beg to differ. I am finding that sifting through this group is time consuming. You only have to be busy and not look at the group for a few days to discover 300 or so messages upon next returning. If the number of subgroups is not too large, and they are sensible groupings then there should not be too much cross posting.   For a start I would like to see the job postings split out. As an Australian Oracle consultant I am not interested in American job ads. If this group does not get split soon then I may join the ranks of some of my coleagues who have already decided that this group is a waste of time (WOFTAM).

Just my $.02 worth...

Have Fun...
