Wayne, I don't know if your question is meant to be rhetorical to the general
members, or if it's directly specifically at me.  If the latter, then
unfortunately it reads like you missed the point of my post (or I failed to make
it well).  I was not at all presenting an argument for/against the .Lavender
issue.  I was simply trying to point out that LUGNET's policy has long been to
allow non-LEGO discussions as well as subdivions of newsgroups based on
non-LEGO-related considerations, and to compare reactions to the creation of
such newsgroups, both past and present.  And further, to propose that those who
disagree with the existence of non-LEGO discussions on LUGNET should consider
the question I typed in the Subject line of my post:  "Is LUGNET what you really
want?"  It was an attempt to provide something "meaty" for all to think about /
discuss.  Sorry for any confusion.  :]
