I've been wondering when this would happen.  This type of request happens
quite frequently in the larger newsgroups.  After the usual flame wars die
down, the arguments come down to two camps:  ones who don't want to handle or
sort through the large volume of e-mails each day; and those who like the
diversity and the cross-polination that it represents.  I am an active
participant in a woodworking newsgroup (rec.woodworking) and that averages
400-500 posts per day, far more than TechNet and has over 30,000 subscribers.
The Split the Newsgroup suggestion comes up 6-8 times every year, usually by
people who are new to the group.  Suggested actions include:

1.  Get a better newsgroup reader that allows you to use filters or kill files
to screen out those things you don't want, or to allow only those things you
do want.

2.  Subscribe only to the digest portion of the group

3.  Unsubscribe to the group and check out the newsgroup archives when you are
interested in historical information.

All of these would be applicable to TechNet as well.

For now, the headings are sufficiently descriptive for me to go through and
quickly delete those message not of interest to me.
