One big problem I figure will occur with this proposed newsgroup idea is
that anyone who just browses while not logged in or who reguarly reads
lugnet through the news server, and doesn't go to the main page unless they
need to find something, may not get any idea at all that they even *have* a
notification awaiting them. And it's highly unlikely that there is either
(a) any method of forcing someone to subscribe to a newsgroup and (b) not
very likely that Todd would be forcing someone to subscribe to such a
newsgroup, if it could be enabled for news browsers. There's also (c) some
news browsers might not support such an option anyway.
That having been said, is there anything that can be used to tell someone
that there's an important message awaiting collection?
