	Keeping the number of news topics down maximizes
	the number of people who read each topic.

Well, maybe.  It sure increases the amount of cruft that any one person has
to wade through!  And while it might be nice to have a few groups that lots
and lots of people read (hey, that was the reasoning that lead to posting to
net.general!), I'd suggest that having more specific newsgroups is to the
greater advantage of the Usenet community.
