Pardon me for imposing when I do not reside in the UK (hubby is UK transplanted
to Michigan USA though - does that qualify?).
My lugnet history - I lurked around before subscribing around February. I
originally read the posts in the various cities around me, and those users
decided to post to the loc.us.mi.grr group for all cities nearby - for the same
reason loc.uk is predominantly used. When we decided to take a holiday in the
UK, I viewed the loc.uk.en.wm.bir as that's where we were going. As there was
nothing there, I checked the heirchy (sp?). I believe I would have done this
anyway, even if I hadn't realised from reading the loc.us.mi posts about moving
to loc.us.mi.grr .
I agree with Todd's Master Plan in keeping the local groups for future use. I
especially like:http://www.lugnet.com/loc/uk/as it shows the number of messages
in each uk group - newbies & foreigners will see where the most action is.
Hope my 2p/2 cents helps, even if I'm a foreigner (& Todd shows amazing insight
to the way American's view geography here in the states in his post on Fri., 14
May *).
* - Please note, our roads are straight, making travelling time faster than UK
roads (discounting round-abouts) that forever bend, even if said UK roads are
appealing to travel on!
