A good example of this might be:
Instead of posting to lugnet.dear-lego and stating I WANT TECHNIC WHEELS AND
TIRES SIZE YYxZZ AND I WANT TO BUY 100 AT A TIME FOR NO MORE THAN 30 CENTS A
SET.  HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE YOU BUMS AT LEGO DIRECT TO OFFER WHAT WE
ALL WANT ???
This ranting and raving could be posted to lugnet.vent and anyone could
respond that agreed or disagreed.

Put that in .dear-lego, with followups to .general or wherever.  Or if you
don't want to specially draw attention to it, put it in .general.  There's
nothing that says that venting can't happen in .general.

Ooh, I'd really rather not see such venting in .general. Keep it in
.dear-lego (and I'd actually like to see separate groups .dear-lego.vent
and .dear-lego.constructive (for constructive criticism or suggestions).

I'd really like to see the traffic volume in .general drop dramatically.
It's getting hard to find interesting stuff there (of course we're
getting swamped by the usual new sets discussion - unfortunately, I
think the lugnet.year groups came a bit too late for this year, for next
year [and for discussion of new stuff which comes out mid-year], I'd
really like to see strong encouragement to keep the discussion mostly in
the lugnet.year groups).
