I looked around a bit in the newsserver code last night and I was thinking
of setting up a virtual newsgroup called _lugnet as a test case, and just
filling it manually with some stuff, and seeing what happened with a few
newsreaders. Before I do that, though, I'll need to make sure that certain
parts of the system can ignore the group, since it won't be "real." If that
test goes well, then another group, say, _lugnet.loc, might be another to
try with some real data.

Yah, or else perhaps alternatively, a message posted out of the blue to, say,
_lugnet.cad could be sent to lugnet.cad without giving an error message. That
could work for just about any virtual umbrella group except the top-level one
and a couple others like _lugnet.admin and _lugnet.market...
