OK, time for a different approach. Feel free to flame/praise me as you see fit.
At the very least we need to keep the following groups;
lugnet.loc.au.act lugnet.loc.au.nsw lugnet.loc.au.nt lugnet.loc.au.qld
lugnet.loc.au.sa lugnet.loc.au.tas lugnet.loc.au.vic lugnet.loc.au.wa
Possibly we should also keep the following groups as there is activity in
them, and/or they further breaks down the states and territories (since some
of them are lare areas);
lugnet.loc.au.act.can lugnet.loc.au.sw.syd lugnet.loc.au.nt.dar
lugnet.loc.au.qld.bri lugnet.loc.au.sa.ade lugnet.loc.au.vic.mel
lugnet.loc.au.wa.per
We should close off the following groups and divert the current messages to
the next available group in the tree;
lugnet.loc.au.nsw.new lugnet.loc.au.nt.als lugnet.loc.au.qld.bun
lugnet.loc.au.qld.cai lugnet.loc.au.qld.goc lugnet.loc.au.qld.mac
lugnet.loc.au.qld.mis lugnet.loc.au.qld.roc lugnet.loc.au.qld.too
lugnet.loc.au.qld.tow lugnet.loc.au.tas.hob lugnet.loc.au.wa.alb
lugnet.loc.au.wa.bun lugnet.loc.au.wa.ger lugnet.loc.au.wa.hed
lugnet.loc.au.wa.kal
If anyone feels left out by this then additional groups could be
created/reinstated, however maintenance of subgroups from the state/territory
groups should be on a volume of traffic basis. If a group just sits there not
being used at all (as many of the above groups have) then it is obviously not
required.
We should create the following new groups and allow posting of all auction and
market information in them, along with organisationally relevant information;
lugnet.org.au - which covers LegOz (all of Australia, eventually we hope)
lugnet.org.au.studs - which covers the NSW group Studs
I don't think we need lugnet.org.au.nsw.studs as that is getting too
compartmentalised (which can be a bad thing from time to time).
Although it has been dealt with in no uncertain terms (and I'll probably get a
smack on the bottom for mentioning it again) I still think the most obvious
place for market/sales/auction information pertinent to Australia is in
loc.au. Call me stuborn, fundamentally inflexible, whatever, but that's just
the way I see it. But since Peter Callaway <> Lugnet sysadmin I guess that's
that. Just don't be surprised if I inadvertently get myself pulled over by the
Lugnet police to be issued a T&C infringement notice if in my enthusiasm to
post something I forget where it is meant to go.
Anyway, </rant> and all that, let's canvas the loc.au population and see if we
can agree to/refine my suggestions above and put this whole messy thing behind
us.
