right. Dr.Cyber and Timmy are from the present time, and (according to TLC's
plotline) built a time machine.
When those sets were released, LEGO SYSTEM was clearly defined into catagories
and sub-catagories.

I think what you mean is that Alpha Team merits its own 'classification.' That
is quite different from warranting the creation of a new newsgroup.

The quantity/frequency of posting is not so relevant as is confusion or
redundancy in addressing of the posts.

hmmm yes, but, I doubt that folks would look for Alpha Team under Town...
I think it might be helpful if a member created an FTX page of themes/lines,
listing them any number of ways, linking into whichever newsgroup is agreed
upon as 'appropriate' to discuss that bunch of sets in. Like an index page of
aliases.
We began aliases to newsgroups in the sets database tree (see "discuss"):
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/browse.cgi
also see links on many sets' entry pages. (That catagorization needs some
reconsideration after outgrowing its single hierarchical list -- I'm just
showing you the aliases part, in case you hadn't noticed them before.)
Then "new groups" could be added on a whim by the keeper of the page. If it
worked out well, I could put a link to it from the main news page. But any
pseudo-groups would need to be clearly NOT real newsgroups, else people'd be
addressing their messages wrong. though, even that could use aliasing..
thoughts?
