Hmm, sticky point.

If Brad has no objections and could suggest a couple (or more, if he wants)
sub-group topic areas that he and/or his colleagues would find most helpful,
I'm all for turning it into a hierarchy and creating a new group, rather than
purely repurposing the existing group.
Can we think of some topical sub-groups of .dear-lego that we would like to
see? I think somebody mentioned a "top 10" wish-list...if it wasn't a joke,
then I'll bet at least 3 of those are common enough wishes to warrant whole
separate groups for each. I'm thinking of bulk purchases, for one. IIRC,
when Jeroen Ottens posted in February, that generated something like 400
messages across 2-3 threads, and most of that ended up being about bulk
purchases as a wish-list item. The AU/NZ inventory-scrapping thing a couple
months ago was another big deal.
Really, wow, though, it could conceivably expand to just about any number of
groups since there are so many things to talk about. Depends I guess on how
"deep" LD wants to get into things......
