Hey Todd -- time for lugnet.off-topic.speling?

Nope. We can stick with just the two off-topic (believe me, it gets
ridiculous when you try to put a different off-topic for each subject
you can think of... We had it for a while. Of course, then we replaced
it with loc.* groups....)

Frankly, I think that spelling changes are going to be posted to the
original group no matter if there was a spelling group or not. If a
THREAD on spelling gets started, the thread would need to move to
.debate or .fun (depending on what the point of the thread was) But
individual off-topic posts that are one-offs don't need to be moved.
(which is a good thing because you would never manage to do it anyway)
