Informal call for dicussion...

lugnet.announce
===============

Should (and can?) lugnet.announce be renamed to something else which isn't such
a newbie magnet?

Is the current name just too inviting to newbies

Would a name such as lugnet.announce.important instead get the point across?

Is its prominence on the page  <http://www.lugnet.com/news/groups/>  a dubious
placement?

Could a simple re-wording of the charter suffice in place of a renaming?
(I.e., to say in near-caps that it's not for frivolty?)

p.s.  A desire is not to have any moderated groups here, for technical as well
as legal reasons...

(...) Couldn't you just set up the group so that only you (or others that admin Lugnet) post to it? I thought you could do this with NNTP... An ISP that I'd use to belong to did something similar to this. They set up one group where only the ISP (...) (26 years ago, 11-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
