I think making a subgroup or two out for net.politics might be a good
idea.  In the original posting on this issue, one possible subgroup
mentioned was something like
		net.politics.theory
where the [Ll]ibertarians, socialists, Marxists, etc. could talk theory.
I still think this is a good idea and ought to be seriously considered.

I'm not so sure about the domestic and international stuff.  I think the
international issues should be left in net.politics.  I'm just not at
all certain that there's really a need to split out the US domestic
issues.  I haven't noticed all that many postings on domestic issues
other than handgun control since the election.  But I would like to see
some more arguments for the US domestic subgroup if people think there's
really a need for it.
