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. --Lauren--
