I agree about too many groups, but then you know that already. Your 4

everyone
in the UK to post to the highest, lugnet.loc.uk, which should do us for a
short
while, anyway. Once Lugnet becomes more mainstream, we can divert to the
.en, .sc,
and .wl groups....
I seriously doubt, even with 100+ UK future posters, that there would be
that many to
split down further. Unless of course lugnet.com gets printed in the in-set
catalogues.........
