I think this would be a bad idea. A hundred new messages
a day is perfectly manageable if you have a decent news
reader that tracks threads. Mostly the subjects of threads
are clear enough, I find I only look at about one third
of all the threads. A thread like "future of Ada" has lots
of posts, but if you are not interested in advocacy posts
(I am not), you just skip the whole thread. THat's near
enough equivalent to having a separate advocacy subgroup.
