I see a couple of additional options, which you may or may not like.

1. Use a different newsreader to access lugnet. There's a lot of other great

2. Or, configure pine to use different newsrc files. Launch pine with

   pine -newsrc-path=~/.newsrc-lugnet

   (I think that's all you need to do; I'm not a regular pine user....)
   You can set up an alias, of course, so you just have to type "lugnet".
