Currently, and as one of the owners, that is my take on things. I myself have also felt as if I am drinking from a fire hose (5") at times.
Splitting the group would require that members subscribe to multiple groups. I'm not sure that that would be helpful.
Hashtags ans subgroups require that member's associate their posts with the appropriate hashtag or subgroup (to some extent - this sort of organization can be done automatically, but it's not much different than threading).
I'd be willing to entertain anything that helps; I'd want to see what mechanism is being proposed and how it would affect the readability of the forum content (pros AND cons).
So far, I think the best solution is for members to read what is immediately of value based on need and interest and ignore the rest. Remember, the content is always available online if one wants to go back and review a thread.

I am on about a dozen different groups for various things
* Website design
* Graphics
* Keysight groups for VNAs
* Keysight group for LCR meters
* A couple of UK based amateur radio sites
* GNU cash
* SageMATH? mathematics software
* UK microwaves
* HP/Agilent/Keysight (I am owner)
* VNWA
There¡¯s more messages from this group than any other - and possibly all the
others combined. ????
I am not sure if that¡¯s a good thing or not. If the popularity of the list
grows much more, I will probably have to start muting topics.
Maybe if the popularity grows much more, the group owners might want to
consider splitting the group, another group, hashtags, subgroups or
anything else that is needed to keep the volume of emails to an acceptable
level.
