I am not all that sure what you mean. I suppose you are looking at splitting
the issues raised into 2 groups:
1. General Referrals from other groups - miss-posts, bad mouthing, etc
and
2. General ethos of LUGNet type posts - the homepage (the topic of the day),
requests for new groups etc
If so, I think there is a clear distinction between the two - but I'd still
like to maximise the amount of users involved in each of these debates (or
any other debate). I really can see no reason for not doing this. If new
users feel they can help shape LUGNet from day 1, I think this is a good
thing. I'd almost recommend that it'd be the homepage, but that'd be too
much.

| (...) I think the best thing that happened along these lines is the "admin.council" group. The "council" really has the 'old-timers' feel to it. Issues dealing with LUGNET users are better to be decided by more experienced members of the community. (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
