I don't see any anywhere. I use "subscribe" on my newsreader, and get
only lugnet.space--the other theme groups also don't show any
"subgroups".
FWIW (two cents, see below), I think subdividing .space at this point is
really counterproductive. I have enough trouble with the current number
of groups, and I don't think we'd have the kind of productive and
interesting discussions we've had in .space if we were all atomised into
our little favourite themes. I'd much rather keep all discussions of
Space themes here rather than parting them out further. It just seems
like clutter to me, as "neat" as it may sound to have a very
well-structured hierarchy. I'd much rather have only Space as my
clearinghouse for M:Tron, Blacktron I + II, Classic Space, Insectoids,
et cetera--IMHO, only when traffic becomes so heavy in a group that it's
impossible to keep up with a newsgroup twice a week (say, 30 messages a
day) is subdivision really productive. The critical mass of active
participants just isn't here (in .space) yet, and I know for certain it
isn't there in .pirates or .boats.
Just my $0.02. I'll squeak this into lugnet.admin.general too--one of
those newsgroups I already have trouble keeping up with.
best,
Lindsay
