Peter,

I would have to say that, as you indicate, the CM posts are certainly on-topic,
even though I don't read them.

I would oppose the idea of actually splitting the posts, since that might tend
to diminish and fractionalize the whole.  The current format has proved pretty
successful.  And, you know, the focus of the group tends to shift around, as
various threads expire.
