I've elected to not receive messages from lugnet.robotics.*, but I'm seeing
them on the main page.  Here's my filter string:

-.market. +.off-topic. +.admin. -.loc. +.loc.us.ut. +.loc.us.tx.dfw
-.robotics.

Is the extra '.' at the end to blame? I don't think "-.robotics." would
filter out "lugnet.robotics".

That would cause a problem -- yes.  Jeremy, what does the page

   http://www.lugnet.com/news/filter/

say w.r.t. robotics in the left column under "Results and Effects"?

p.s.  If a message is posted to .robotics and also crossposted to a group that
you don't have filtered out, you'll see it.
