Now on a totally different track, how about a new set of groups,
lugnet.new.2000, lugnet.new.2001, etc where all the discussion of the new
sets would occur? This would tend to consolidate such discussion, and make
lugnet.general easier to follow for those who don't want to rush out and buy
the latest set (or are in Oz and won't see them for months), who just want
to follow other discussions. These groups would also make it easy for
someone joining Lugnet say in July, to find the discussion of that years
sets.

Well, groups do stick around, so the 'new' designator wouldn't be fitting
after a certain point.  I was thinking if ever there were groups for product
line years, they oughtta parallel the DB, since this'll be set up for
browsing by year anyway -- so something like

     :
   lugnet.year.1997
   lugnet.year.1998
   lugnet.year.1999
   lugnet.year.2000
     :

is probably more likely to fit in.

Groups for product-line years would be great for crossposting stuff as it
comes up!

It seems to me that a new group for hot availability items (good price, unusual offering, etc) is not really necessary. It seems to me that that is the purpose of shopping. Of course a cross post to buy-sell-trade that a particular person is willing (...) (25 years ago, 22-Feb-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
