This a call for a vote.

Hi Newtype,
I have been a keen viewer of the group alt.binaries.schematics.electronic
for quite some time. Most weeks there have only been 10 or 20 posts, until
you commenced posting the copies of the datasheets.

I have a suggestion for you, reduce the number of posts you put up each
day, posting about a quarter of the volume each day should cure the
retention problems that most people are upset over. I do not believe
there is a need for another group.

Reducing the posts wont change the current state of a.b.s.e
The current users of a.b.s.e don't know why there are so many files
to begin with. I want a newsgroup where this will be a problem.
I created a Charter, as per alt.config rules. I state that the new
newsgroup will be for multi-part files. Since there is no charter
for a.b.s.e , no one seems to understand how to use a binary newsgroup.

Even if I post 10 files, that's 10 files too many. That's called
"Flooding" . I seriously doubt it. I posted 1 file and that was
spewed all over. Yet I got response from 5 users for more "You got
anymore..? It dosen't make a difference now, too many hate mongers
out. Too many new users that don't know how to use a newsreader.
