   lugnet.loc.au - Australia

Many thanks.  What's the difference between lugnet.loc.au and • lugnet.org.au?

lugnet.loc.au is basically for anything having to do with Australia.

lugnet.org.au is basically for anything having to do with Australia-based
user groups, clubs, etc. -- i.e., LegOz, Studs, etc.

Auctions, buying, selling, and trading between Australians are OK in the
.org.au group (because it's for specific group use and that's what the
people who requested it decided) and .loc.au is just like any other .loc
group.

It will get less confusing once a finalised name is chosen for the AU • group
(or groups) -- IIRC, people couldn't decide between LegOz and Studs, so in
the interest of having a separate dedicated group up & running sooner • rather
than later, one with a more general name was created (just .org.au with no
subgroups).  IMO, it really should be named .org.au.legoz or .org.au.studs • or
.org.au.foofoo as soon as a name as chosen -- that will cut down a lot on
confusion.

Mmmm ...  k ...

Ahh, OK then.  The lugnet.org.au group charter seems to be a lot more
detailed.  Is it appropriate for people wanting to find Australians to • post
to lugnet.loc.au or lugnet.org.au?

Ya!

OK.

I also know one copies messages sent to it to the other one, but don't • know
which one.

That's personal preference -- it depends on what you have to say.  I • wouldn't
recommend crossposting unless there's a good reason.

No, I meant that your server is set up to xpost messages in one to the other
automatically.  I can't remember which one, and I didn't want to waste space
in newsgroups testing theories.

Cheers ...

(...) No, that's not true, actually. There are no newsgroups here on the entire server where posting to one automatically crossposts to another. If you see something crossposted, it's because someone did it manually or replied to a message which was (...) (24 years ago, 1-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
