If so would it be possible to send a message to all of them like this:

Subject : We are not here!
Body:  Due to the size of the UK LEGO Online community we have decided
that all messages by concentrated in lugnet.loc.uk
Please post there.
Follow-Up: lugnet.loc.uk

I would do this myself but Netscape News is really unstable at the
moment.

Please do not spam all the UK groups with a message like this.  Anyone who
cares will easily figure out that the bulk of the UK traffic is happening
in the loc.uk group, and if they choose to post there, that's fine.  But I
don't want people to be discouraged from ever using the smaller groups.

Besides, pretty soon from the web you'll be able to browse a whole combined
hierarchy at once (meaning all the messages in a group and in all of its
subgroups).

If you want to let people know that most people have decided to congregate
in a single UK group, just post that to the main UK group and anyone who
cares will see it.  If anyone is reading only a smaller group and not the
main group, they are insane.

Too late. Sorry. Though I did stop two of them in time.
