Ahhh--BINGO! Those are *very* *nice* and *short* name components!!!

So you're saying?--deleting the super-lower-level metro groups in .loc.au
would be (possibly) a step forward but deleting the state-level groups
loc.au.xxx would be a step backward?

A website link, yes, very easily. For example, the .org area currently has
a crosslink to the .trains.org area:
http://news.lugnet.com/org/
and the .trains.org area currently has a crosslink to the .org area:
http://news.lugnet.com/trains/org/

Aren't all the general (non-themed) LUGs true LUGs in the normal sense of
the word -- i.e., regional user groups?

Thanks, lots more ideas is good. I wanna keep the names as short as
possible -- so having an .org.general is probably getting too long for
comfort. That's why it's got two-letter ISO country abbreviations now.

You mean Expert Builder or non-modern Technic?
