What do the extra prefixes really buy you, after all?

It'll mean I will never be able to cross-post using slrn.  No way I'm
going to try to remember all those x.x.x.x.x.whatevers so I can type
them in manually.

Not everybody uses pretty little graphical clients with pull-down
menus of all the groups.

Heck, I've started referring to lugnet.market.auction as .auction -
how much confusion will there be if there are two .trains or
.mindstorms groups?

(...) Well, IMHO, if you decide to institute these groups using this prefixing, I'd argue that lulgnet.trains should be renamed to lugnet.lego.system.trains rather than there being two groups. Ditto for mindstorms, and for starwars for that matter (...) (25 years ago, 27-Mar-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
