Sounds great!

Hm, I've an idea, which is probably terrible but I'll throw it out
anywise...
Would there be a place for pseudo announcement newsgroups which would
broadcast to a set of newsgroups, and automatically set followups to the
appropriate place (or just require you to set a followup). This
lugnet.org.us.nelug.announce (or lugnet.announce.org.us.nelug or
lugnet.announce.nelug) would broadcast to all the groups listed above.
lugnet.loc.us.ma.announce would broadcast to all the Mass. groups.
lugnet.loc.us.nc.rtp.announce would broadcast to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral
and lugnet.loc.us.nc.dur.
I could see this as being very usefull in that it is easy to send
announcements to a consistent list of newsgroups. On the other hand, it
could easily be abused.

| Watching the recent discussions in lugnet.org and lugnet.org.us has been a lot of fun. The groups are serving their purpose well as venues for sharing ideas on formation and nurturing of regional user groups/clubs. But I think there is still much (...) (25 years ago, 23-Nov-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.org, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.loc.us.mn.msp, lugnet.loc.us.dc, lugnet.loc.us.ut.slc, lugnet.loc.us.wa, lugnet.loc.us.ga)
