Ever wished there were a Fabuland newsgroup? Got a soft spot for DUPLO Toolo? How about Pirates? Wild West? Castle? All of these (and more) are definitely in the plan -- it's just a matter of giving them names and positions in the larger newsgroup (...)

There are two ways to do this. One is completely subjective with broad categories like "space" "Town" "Trains" "Technic" etc and specific sub-themes below them, the other way is strict fact-based, with no assumptions. only If it has the system logo (...)

(...) Hmm. Well, there really are have been about 30 or 35 or so major categories over the past 30 or so years, right? So it may not grow much. In the past 10 years, for example, only about 10 major categories have been added: : 1989 - LEGO® SYSTEM™ (...) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

Hello Todd, I think your organizational structure looks just fine. I look forward to a Technic-related newsgroup. :) As far as whether to use U.S. or non-U.S. product names, well... I think that should be left at the discretion of the person doing (...) (25 years ago, 10-Aug-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
