Assuming that all subgroups should be included in groups higher up (is this

automatically crosspost to the more general groups. So when posting, you'd
pick the specific group, and it'd automatically be included in the more
general.

yasure, then what happens when you start a thread posted to lugnet.foo.bar,
and it's automatically crossposted to lugnet.foo,lugnet.foo.bar, and then
when it gets too bar-esoteric, you set the followups to lugnet.foo.bar?
