For me...

- list maintainers posting updates to their lists.....8
   - commercial sites advertising via list maintainer....9
   - commercial sites advertising once a month...........6
   - commercial sites advertising once a week............2
   - GMs posting new games starting......................8
   - requests for playtesters...........................10

If commercial traffic gets too heavy (not real likely in PBM),
then I suppose it would be time to split the newsgroup. But
there simply isn't enough traffic right now to cause me
concern, and I don't foresee that changing as long as PBM
advertisers use a modicum of common sense.
