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.
