Informal call for discussion...

lugnet.theme.*
==============

I originally had things broken down this way back in early August, but it came
up with 20+ groups, and was discouraged by many people from having separate
theme groups...  It's really only the Trains and Robotics folks who have a
whole "genre" to talk about, IMO...  I'm a Space fan and would enjoy a space
group, but Space is too small of a "thing" compared to Trains, and Space is so
darned similar to Aquazone...

Actually, for me, I like reading about what others have done. Often it gives me
ideas across themes, because building bridges restaurants, inns and pubs are all
plausible in just about any theme that has minifigs.

One thing that might be cool is to further divide the auction and
bull-sell-trade groups into themes so you could see exactly what is for sale,
like heading for the cereal aisle in the store vs. hunting for the Cap'n Crunch
amongst the broccoli. It's more work for folks holding auctions, but
cross-posting might be permissable in this case. There are times when I think "I
need another Robo-force minifig" and I would know where to go, or even where to
sell one.

Secretly, however, I have another (...) (26 years ago, 18-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
