To quote your message from 18 Feb 1999 01:06:40 GMT:

So, your point was "I don't see the need - diversity, mon."?  Gee that's,
ummm, enlightening.  Sure helps clear things up for me.  Golly, if we had
more profound insights like that just imagine how sophisticated our
culture would be!

And if I may:  You sure do talk a lot for a peron who doesn't say much.

Anyway, the point was that *no-one* suggested a better way to sub-divide
the games, and without acceptable handles for the groups, we couldn't get
a grip on the subject as a whole.  Ce'st la vie.
