yep, basically I think that would work well _with .loc.au_ other countries
may vary.

I guess they are - I was just thinking about having all the general LUGs in
one place, similar to how all the train LUGs (LTCs) would end up. May not be
useful though. Just throwing the idea into the pot.

Yeah, after doing some thinking I think I'd be happy with just having all
the local groups in .org.xx

non-modern stuff - it's a bit hard to define. I guess that answers my own
question - it's a bit hard to add a group for a non-definable entity. I
guess I'm just thinking that all the recent technic is vastly different from
the early 80s stuff even up to the mid 90s. But you've already got
.bionicle, .roborider & .slizer separate, and that probably covers all the
stuff I'm not interested in. Just me mouthing off without having a good
stiff think first.
