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?

That does work- but it's a lot more complicated than clicking the Castle
link from the Lugnet home page.

Not really, it's just one extra click.  Scroll to the bottom of the page and
follow the "View plain (without subgroups)" link under Reading Options.

You can also fine-tune what you will see on the news root page, using the
skip-filter settings.  This is more complicated too, but only needs to be
done once.  Then you can hop onto Lugnet, hit the Newsgroups link, and
immediately read exactly what you want to read.

Yup.  That's how I avoid getting baffled by Italian. :)  If you don't want
to see IoM stuff, just add -org.cw to your skip filter and ignore the Isle
of Mist to your hearts content.
