Umm excuse your ignorance but Fidonet runs (mostly) on DOS machines and
I doubt that it would be that easy to do in Perl under dos impossible
with sh. Dos also does not support symbolic links and therefore requires
that each message be separate.  I also agree that that is Fidonet's
problem not the net's and has NO bearing on whether to seperate the
groups.  We need not let fidonet's shortcomings affect the way the net
is run.
