Well, most of the misplaced posts are castle-world, which has it's own
group (I'd also prefer to not see the castle-world posts in
lugnet.castle, or at least the IOM ones). I'd prefer to go to
lugnet.castle.org.cw to see all of the castle-world stuff in one place.
There's also an occasional "look at my new castle" post there.

Oops, sorry for not FUTing to lugnet.admin.general in the first place...

I can't think of any specifics right now. It's just been something I've
noticed and got mentioned since I got motivated to post based on the
lugnet.castle.org postings...
