Huh?  I suppose they mean beacause of the hierarchical structure.  I'd say no,
because I see a lot of the same names in different groups.  Thus, the people
can't be too "compartmentalised".

that "[it's] for the dorks who can't make up [their] own mind whether to
read a posting or not"

Quite the opposite, it's for people who do know what they want to read, and
want to know that when they go to a particular group it will be about something
they want to read.

and that I am "constantly telling people where they
can and can't post a message on the threat of being expelled"...

I wouldn't say "constantly".  I would say "when necessary".  Well, except I
don't think I have *ever* seen you threaten to expel someone from Lugnet as a
whole, only restrict posting privileges.

So, to sum up, no, no, and he[ck] no.
