Actually, one thing I suggested last year might be good to put in place real
soon would be a lugnet.new.2001 or somesuch for all the discussion of the
2001 sets when they are first available to be seen in a catalog, and later
when they actually come out (which tends to swamp .general for several
weeks). I feel that such a set of newsgroups would significantly reduce
clutter in .general, and make an easy place for someone who shows up late
in a year to find out what everyone thinks of the sets currently on the
shelves, or to ignore such if they desire (it might be nice for example to
be able to exclude that discussion from news searches).

I still think this is a great idea.  I would put them under .year.#### though.
