lugnet.loc.uk, which should do us for a short while, anyway. Once Lugnet

I seriously doubt, even with 100+ UK future posters, that there would be
that many to split down further.

It's designed at several levels so you can interact at whatever level is

to be there for whatever might pop up.  It's too easy to underestimate the
usefulness of a very localized group, IMHO.
