Hmm.. might be a nice feauture. I use Agent, and I have to change my
newserver settings in preferences every time I change between lugnet
and standard news - This isn't too bad for getting the messages, but
it kinda sucks for posting them :)

I wouldn't want there to be 'lugnet.com' in the 'Path' of outgoing articles
to groups that people here don't monitor regularly.  In other words, the
risk of someone accidentally or intentionally peeving off other ng's by one
or two mischevious crosspostings is too dangerous...
