I would support this if the LUGNET web interface facilitates collapsing
all of the sub-groups into larger groups. For example, if I click on
space, I'd like the interface to show me all the messages for
space.blacktron, space.mtron, etc. Then, if I click on one of
those subgroups, of course I only get messages for that particular
subgroup.
Since this is the way it already works (hooray!), I wouldn't mind
playtheme-oriented subgroups. To me, it would look as if all of
those posts were still appearing in lugnet.town, lugnet.space, etc.
I do think it's a bit of a needless hypersubdivision, but it's not
a harmful one ... to me, using the web interface. Someone who
suddenly now needs to subscribe to a dozen plus new newsgroups to
cover the space theme might feel differently.

LEGO PRIMO, LEGO SCALA, and LEGO BELVILLE are all examples of whole Product Programmes, on par with LEGO DUPLO, LEGO SYSTEM, LEGO MINDSTORMS, etc., whereas Arctic and Divers are merely short-lived play themes within the Town System.
