  CFD: Subgroups for lugnet.org.us & lugnet.trains.org
 
Watching the recent discussions in lugnet.org and lugnet.org.us has been a lot of fun. The groups are serving their purpose well as venues for sharing ideas on formation and nurturing of regional user groups/clubs. But I think there is still much (...)

Many more on the way for sure, if what I see going on is accurate, including a group in Italy, The South Eastern US, and a Train club in St. Louis among others. (...)

(...) which (...) Good point. There might also be some comments that you wouldn't want to say on LUGNET (and therefore in "public"), but you might want to discuss on a private mailing list.

(...) Oh, I definitely agree -- a group probably wouldn't want absolutely positively everything always to have to be 100% publicly readable... especially if it had lots of cursing and things like that. :) But I wonder how you go about actually (...) (25 years ago, 23-Nov-99, to lugnet.org.us)
