That's right. And if we were to create all these groups, the folks who want
to flame and get maximum exposure for their flames (which is why they cross-post
in the first place) would just cross-post to six groups instead of two. The
signal-to-noise ratio cannot be lowered without the cooperation of those who
chose to make noise, new groups won't do it.
