Sure, but that 'l' is there in .off-topic.x and .loc.x too. So this
means that the rest of the newsfroup's name can override the 'l'. Why
then, doesn't the 'build' in lugnet.build or the 'announce' in
lugnet.announce also override the 'l'? (I understand that the answer is
- at least in part - "because that's not how I envisioned things
working" but it seems like a discreppancy.)

Would a post in which I found a new brand-x brick where the 1x elements
sucked but the 2x elements were really compatible with LEGO be
appropriate for .build? That post would relaying info related to LEGO.

I was responding to an attitude that I feel from you and others - more
along the lines of a community thing than targeting you in specific.

That seems particularly reasonable given your global goals of linking
set reviews to Pause and whatever else.

Right. I meant that some 'improvements' aren't truely improvements. I
was trying to suggest that enumerating every tiny detail and tightly
restricting subjet content could seem like an improvement to the people
caught-up inside the issue thinking about it (you, for instance), but it
wouldn't actually improve things. It sounds like you agree with this.
Also, the stuff you quoted on subjet adherence and flexibility from the
Terms and Conditions suggested that things are pretty good in that respect.
