Excluding those groups from the front page (I mean first page of
www.lugnet.com) would be a nice thing (providing that they would still
be accessible from the links at the light blue field, as it is now) and
I can't imagine a thing that could be effected badly from this change.
For the jambalaya posts, I think most probably there is nothing
interesting in a jambalaya message for the others so it would be nice to
exclude them, too. Actually, I remember that I was annoyed when I saw
them in .general several times (I can withstand being annoyed rather
well, by the way).
