Hmm, aren't rec.toys.lego and lugnet.general actually very different? --
(that's why the potential for confusion -- because they seem similar at
first but aren't really)...
lugnet.general is for "general" LEGO or community discussions that either
don't have a clear place somewhere else o spans the whole gamut and have no
clear place somewhere else.
In contrast, rec.toys.lego is a sort of cornucopia or a catch-all. For
example, auction announcements and updates are OK in rec.toys.lego but not
in lugnet.general.
So it wouldn't work to kill off lugnet.general if rec.toys.lego were hosted
here...
