"_" being a prefix for umbrella groups? Or is that just for testing?
I still think I like the .general idea. It seems clean and logical to me. (I
mean, why do we have lugnet.general instead of just posting into lugnet?) I
don't think that having a bunch of them is unappealing. In fact, it seems
more nice than giving the umbrella groups a different prefix.
And with that, posts to foo.blah could be redirected to foo.blah.general
pretty easily. (Actually, with the Newsgroup-rewriting scheme, a post to
foo.blah and one to foo.blah.general would be treated exactly the same --
both would be rewritten to say "foo.blah,foo.blah.general".)
