Default Why not separate each CAS exam into its own discussion group

I am new to CAS specific exams and finiding it hard to get CAS 5 information because I need to sort through all the other stuff.

Why are they all bunched together in one discussion group and not separated (like SOA) into their own groups?

According to the PTB, there really aren't enough people to justify it. Which is true, we are smaller than the SOA sections by a factor of 8 or 10.

As long as everyone prefaces their thread title with "Part X: ....." it should not be a big deal.

I vote for separate threads, though.

Nice try, Ginda. You do, of course, realize this board (much like the CAS) really isn't a democracy.
