 | | Newsgroups for LUGs?
|

Could LUGNET add newsgroups for all the LUGs who want them and have them automagically crosspost to the regional groups (...)

| (...) One problem that I see with that is then people on those loc-groups who don't want to see org-info get it anyway, and threads are spread over multiple groups messily. I think the newsgroups for LUGs idea is cool though :) Richard (25 years ago, 16-Jan-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.org, lugnet.org.us)

Too easy to get unintended results, too hard to maintain the (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jan-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.org, lugnet.org.us)

| (...) Ok, but AFAIK there aren't any lug newsgroups right now. There should at least be newsgroups for LUGs and LTCs made under the appropriate heirarchy. lugnet.org.us.gmltc lugnet.org.us.gmlug lugnet.org.us.nelug lugnet.org.us.wamalug etc... -Tim (...)

For now crossposting and the mailing-list work but a NELUG group would help consolidate things and it would not clutter all of the .loc groups with NELUG (...)

It's a bit of a pity, because although that structure allows you to have the NELUG base /org/us/nelug/ to contain all the individual group messages, it begins to start looking a little bit messy, especially when you have /org/us/nelug/ma/bos/ (...)
