Um. This week I disagree. A case in point:

Today's mail download from the FT list included:

5 posts that were about FT only.
20 posts that were about DSII/SGII, or modern military equipment
relating
to DSII/SGII.
22 posts about planetary assault/defence (applicable to both FT and
DSII/SGII).
1 post proposing a split, and 17 replies (this'll be the 18th, or 30th
or
so), and
25 posts about GW's new space attempt, Voltrons etc - ie, no real
relation to any GZG game or to this list.

I have tried to sort the posts according to content, not according to
what the subject line says.

To me, it seems that the posts relating to DSII/SGII are in fact the
biggest part of the on-topic discussions here. This week, that is - next
week it may change.

See the figures above. Right now, I think we need to encourage more FT
discussion, not ground-pounder talk ;-)

So my vote is a resounding NO SPLIT :-)
