Yes, this is good. Possibly a bit more prominence could be given to the
links in the top left, but it shows you where the action is :-)

This is useful as another view of the above, and would be better with
the sizes as well.
I prefer the first one, but then I'm used to hierarchical databases.
Still, it gives you the big picture first, with an idea of the level of
activity, and allows you to address a geographical area as large or
small as you wish.
I like it.
BTW, my newsreader just gives me a list of groups to subscribe to, in
alpha order, so loc.uk is before loc.uk.ch.che. There wasn't anything
happening in the local one so I went straight to the national one.
Having been on RTL for a while, and seen the small number of posters
from the UK, this seemed logical to me.
But someone who hits Lugnet while surfing doesn't know this, so guiding
them through the alternatives, as the first page above does, seems the
best thing to do.
Hope this helps.
