long threads of admiration (which are great, and appropriate, but ought to
be in lugnet.build.mecha).  Even setting the follow-ups properly would help.

Yes, everyone posting mecha stuff:  please set followups to the .build.mecha
group when posting -- don't clutter the main .build group with mecha stuff
when there's a focused group for it.  Or even don't post to the main .build
group.  If someone doesn't read .build.mecha, either they're not interested,
or if it's super-duper cool and they should see it anyway, it'll show up on
a spotlight.

OK, I'm a bit confused here. I could just as easily say "well, I'm not
interested in houses at all, so they should post only to .town since there's
a town newsgroup." Or apply the sentiment to anything I'm not interested in.

So why would it be ok for someone to post, say, a house MOC and its entire
subsequent thread in .build, but not a mecha? Sure, mecha has its own
category, but houses could be posted to .town, couldn't they?

Where's the distinction here?

(...) .build.mecha is a subgroup of .build. --Todd (24 years ago, 15-Jan-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
