FWIW, since Todd never answered, I'll poke my nose in and say that at an
early NELUG meeting, we asked Todd for something similar, and he declined.
I can't remember if it was a technical issue, or a Lugnet-focus issue,
though.

I think it was a technical issue.  NNTP groups aren't easy to make private
without password-protecting connections, etc.

D'oh, right.  I tend to forget that Lugnet is really a NNTP server, since
I use the web connection.

(d'Oh!)

LUGNET is not an NNTP server.

LUGNET is the international network of user-groups of LEGO products.

For the benefit of LEGO users and user-groups worldwide, LUGNET runs an
NNTP server on lugnet.com for NNTP news/discussion groups, an HTTP server
for web-based activities, and has HTTP & SMTP gateways to the NNTP news
server.

(...) And the server name for that NNTP service is lugnet.com. So lugnet.com is an NNTP server. Steve (24 years ago, 5-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
