This arrangement allows for participation in club discussions in ways
custom-tailored to each individual -- via e-mail, digests, NNTP news, web
boards -- even mix & match depending on the time of day or the nature of a
discussion.  If someone wants to read their club's messages as a mailing
list, they can.  If they want to read them on the web, they can.  If they
want the full power of a real newsreader, they can have it.

A second big advantage of this arrangement is that club announcements can be
crossposted directly other LUGNET groups to reach the widest local audience,
with followups directed to a club's .org group for focused discussion.

For example, a typical NELUG message might go simply like this:

  Newsgroups: lugnet.org.us.nelug

and a major NELUG announcement could go out like this:

  Newsgroups: lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos,lugnet.loc.us.ma,lugnet.loc.us.ct,
              lugnet.loc.us.ri,lugnet.loc.us.vt,lugnet.loc.us.nh,
              lugnet.loc.us.me,lugnet.org.us,lugnet.announce
  Followup-To: lugnet.org.us.nelug

I'd like to hear from the various groups/clubs and see what they think about
this.  This would all be very easy to set up given the existing structure,
so please don't by shy.  :)

So far as the only west-coaster to answer, I think it's a good idea.

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 (...)
