Well there hasn't been a group to put them - I put mine (as well as other
people) in a local group because there isn't a group for them.

Well I'm not too bothered about the name at all - I just want the group to
exist, I will be actively encouraging others to use LUGNET NEWS but if they
can't test their setup they won't know if it works.
The group lugnet.test really should be used quite simply because it is on top
of the hiearchy. Netscape News will display the groups like a File Manager
folder/file hiearchy so lugnet.off-topic.test would be hidden away under a
lugnet.off-topic folder and not used.
