	  okay -- are there any mailing lists out there which are more
     specific?  i don't know of any ... are there any?  ... or is this
     suggestion something like telling someone to look for the FAQ from
     this group -- which from what i've seen from what i've read (not
     all that much really, only recently started reading), is about as
     easy as describing the sound of one hand clapping.  ... as he tries
     to paint his eyebrows back on.

I don't know of any...but if you and the other splitters really want
one, why not form one?

	  by the way -- i think that the introduction of more specified
     newsgroups does not, of inherent logical necessity, lead to a 
     newsgroup for each and every variation of each and every technique
     of each and every master's unique angle on each and every style from
     each and every time period yet known to humanity ...  

No, it doesn't.  However, I can easily imagine a much less extreme
scenario resulting in considerable chaos, unneccessary and uninformative
and out-of-context crossposts, and so on.  Hey, it happens all the time
on other newsgroups, so...

     i have faith
     in the intelligence of the average net user 

HEE HEE HEE!!!  Wanna buy a bridge?

     to not want to open up
     this flood gate to such a monumental tide -- at least more than the
     seemingly paltry average number of posts that this group receives;
     at least that is what the masters of prolific net use would dis-
     dainfully reminded me of, "too many posts?!  krist man, you should've
     seen that time when ..." -- of insane spiltters.  watch out, oh mighty
     and unified r.m-a, for the 7' tall, PCP using thug with a nack for
     tearing your beloved newsgroup limb from limb!  it seems mr. lincoln
     will allow for no states to succeed from this union of styles -- one
     newsgroup, under god.

*yawn* Relax, take a pill.  No one has told you you can't split.  If 
you want to, do the CFD/CFV like everybody else.  If you just want to
talk about it, don't be too surprised if others don't agree with you.  

	  so enough of my bruised ego ...  are there any mailing lists
     out there?  and if not, who would be interested in starting one
     for -- since it seems there is a desire for one -- judo.  by the
     way, not me.  like i said, i was just lending my support to the
     idea of more specific newsgroups -- i have no interest in judo
     per se.

I guess I don't really understand the controversy.  If you want to split,
then go ahead and split.  If you want to debate the merits of splitting, 
then don't be surprised if folks disagree with you.
