I get the sense that some sort of undirected rant group is still desired by
at least a few. I think there's a good chance that traffic in this area will
boom majorly for certain discussions and it's tough for me to imagine not
having at least 3 subgroups to keep the traffic focused and manageable for
those involved. Perhaps the name lugnet.dear-lego.direct would be a good
first sub-group name.

Well, actually, can't do that here either... If the web interface were the
only gateway to the news core, it would be possible, but NNTP newsreaders
hold old messages, and some people are running caching NNRP servers. When
we cleared out the original beta-test groups in September of 1998, it caused
quite a bit of problems for a few people whose newsreaders couldn't properly
unsubscribe and resubscribe (I think it was MSOE of all coincidences ;-).
Anyway, it's not really feasable logistically to clear the messages out of a
group unless the group is going away permanently, like we did when we fixed
the Yonkers NY problem.
