It would mean the ability to crosspost to lugnet.* groups, yes -- but only
for those people who have gone through the news posting setup at:
http://www.lugnet.com/news/post/setup/
In other words, only the people who have succesfully crossed Larry's gate/
barrier would be allowed to crosspost between RTL and lugnet.* groups. If
they hadn't crossed the barrier (or passed the test, whatever), then the
messages they attempt to crosspost would have to either be discarded by the
server or truncated so that they only went into RTL.

Not directly, no... But the larger issue of whether RTL and LUGNET are
perceived as separate or connected communities is what's at stake.
