Ok ... here is where I feel that I can say a few things :)  Anyone else - feel
free to add to this:
1)  One can read lugnet.castle without it's subgroups:
http://news.lugnet.com/castle/?n=,-20&v=c

Unfortunatly, no. If it was .org.castle.cw then the messages would be in a
different newsgroup tree. As it is .castle includes EVERYTHING that starts
with .castle, including .castle.org and .castle,org.cw

If you recall the debates about the formation of CW and it's attendant

User-groups properly partitioned. People agreed saying that they did NOT

Hmm ... let me see this again:

One CAN view the main group (.castle) without it's subgroups (castle
organizations, .castle.ninja) with that link:

http://news.lugnet.com/castle/?n=,-20&v=c

... on the other hand, to read ALL subgroups, one needs to go here:

http://news.lugnet.com/castle/?n=*,-20&v=c

Am I correct?

N.B. I have set the follow-ups to castle, not org.cw. This is because the content has impact on the structure and direction of the castle group as a whole, not just those who do (or don't) like CW. (...) Apathy? Perhaps in part. .Castle (and (...) (23 years ago, 8-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)
