Given the relatively low volume here I may not disagree with you, but the topics may touch on something that others consider "trollish" - Having a focused group allows those who are interested to participate and others who simply don't care about MPI-alternatives or my opinions about what sucks.
I also plan to promote the group besides just here - I don't feel comfortable advertising a bunch of people to subscribe to a beowulf mailing list which I can't even help moderate.
