That's because the discussion occured in lugnet.trains and lugnet.trains.org.
It is probably a good idea for organizations to set up a private list for
internal discussions (NELUG showed the necesity of this with all the bustle
about the age policy), but should use the lugnet.org... group(s) to announce
events and to conduct discussion which might be of reasonable interest to
others (like a train group deciding which table standard to follow might want
to have at least some discussion be open so others can contribute and learn).
Remember that these days, a lot of people read Lugnet using the web interface,
and many of them presumably do so from the news home page with no filters set
(like I do), which effectively means they read everything (so much for my
compartmentalized dorkdom...).
