You misunderstood my intention.  I certainly didn't suggest that such a
thing would be done; I just said that it was the only comp.lang.python
"reorganization" that would really make any real sense (in my opinion,
of course).  I'd probably volunteer my services in such an effort, but I
certainly wouldn't solely champion such a thing, and after having been
an active contributor to Usenet for a decade I don't have any illusions
about how trivial it is.

I'm just comparing it to the rather bizarre fragmentations of c.l.p that
I've seen suggested that would only serve to fragment and disrupt any
coherent discussion, since any kind of division like that would chop up
conversations, leave people unsure of where to post (so they'd post to
many of the subgroups, eliminating the purpose for the subdivisions),
etc.
