To help keep the groups organized. I am sure that you have noticed
that there is an enormous amount of traffic in this group. You may
remember an image from two months ago but trying to find it again
is never an easy task. If someone looks for the source for your image
it is much easier to look for it in one of the scene-files groups,
where the message volume is much lower, than it is here buried at
the bottom of a 20 message thead in this group.

Not only does it keep the groups better organized but it also helps
in finding resources by placing them in the right group to begin
with.
