I believe I mean more like Larry's unwashed. I was referring to the set
of messages which exist on RTL, and we are trying to prevent from
spilling out onto lugnet.*

I meant to suggest the *.binaries, *.html and etc. groups be read-only
on lugnet. That way, no one could say lugnet was filtering/censoring,
but you wouldn't be encouraging anything. If people really wanted to
respond to posts which had been directed to these groups, the follow-up
could be set to rec.toys.lego.
