Hello:

With regards to splitting comp.robotics, I am wondering... how many
messages do we have in this group per day, week, month, year, etc. as
compared to other groups? I know this information is available somewhere,
but I don't know where. 

Personally, I do NOT think we should split the group. I like seeing the
wide range of topics.

I also think the numbers will show there is no justification for splitting
the newsgroup (although I like the comp.robotics.homebrew,
comp.robotics.research and comp.robotics.industrial suggestions the best,
if we MUST split).

My gut feel is that our traffic volume is pretty low compared to other
groups which probably really should be split.

Just my $0.02.
