Ooh. Hadn't thought of that one. :-( Good point! I'll bet that would
happen too.
All things considered, the only reasonable (workable) option might be simply
to carry rec.toys.lego here but prevent any cross-posting, simply as a
convenience for people who currently have to go use two newsservers. Since
there is in practice no cross-posting between rec.toys.lego & lugnet.*
groups at present, it wouldn't change anything except to make it easier for
some people to access both types of groups. (And it might stir up lots of
questions about why cross-posting is disallowed, but I think that's pretty
well documented at this point.)
Ug, in any scenario, it means some very careful newsserver custom-mods and
testing which would derail other stuff. :-(
