Much better than .admin.news.  I suspect many people would read that as
being "news about .admin" - that would be my first guess even though I
do use a newsreader and have been reading newsgroups for years.


Yup agreed, I may be a relative newbie to LUGNET, I'm present on the Internet
since '93.
A admin.newsclients group attracts post about 'how to configure Outlook/TIN'
or similar. While I thought we're looking for a newsgroup to discuss newsgroup
contents instead. Or did I miss something here?
