The fundamental problem is that the project-type messages we're talking
about don't belong in their own groups -- they belong in the specific
group for the project topic of interest.  C projects in net.lang.c,
analog projects in net.analog, etc.  This makes sure that the people
most interested in the topic, by definition, see the messages.

Setting up separate group(s) would be almost literally like setting
up a net.query group for people to send all questions on any topic to,
rather than having them send their questions to the specific topic-oriented
(net.lang.c, net.analog) group of interest.
