I'd say the possibility of cross-posting between the lugnet groups and
rec.toys.lego is a _good_ thing, in terms of allowing lugnet to
support RTL, rather than detracting from it. That way (for example),
announcements can be cross-posted. And people who have left RTL
could, if they wanted, cross-post their new messages to RTL. Thus
giving the benefit of long-timers posting to RTL without having to be
immersed in it.
Unfortunately, almost every message to lugnet.* and loc.* could
legitimately be cross-posted to RTL. Which would make little sense to
lugnet'ers.
