Well, in light of the mail statistics, I apologize. My displeasure formed as a result of the postings in this newsgroup. Most of the articles suggesting that a single newsgroup was sufficient were not responded too, yet people kept discussing which subgroups would be needed, apparently ignoring the requests for a single newsgroup. I'm actually quite happy that the email you've received indicates that most people want a single newsgroup.
