(...) That sounds like the definition for lugnet.announce (which does indeed force you to set followups). My impression is that lugnet.general is for discussions which don't have a better newsgroup (or set of newsgroups) to be discussed in. I think (...)

If a local group is more appropriate due to the fact that something is localized, then the discussion should migrate there, ya (always to the most appropriate group).
