Nope, that statement as a whole is not correct.  It's partially correct in
that people who subscribe only to the lego-robotics@crynwr.com mailing list
would indeed not automatically see a new sensors subgroup of lugnet.robotics,
but it's not correct about the website/newsreader requirement.

I guess this bears repeating again:  All lugnet groups are subscribeable four
different ways:

   1.  NNTP - news, via port 119, 1119, 8000, or 8000
   2.  HTTP - web
   3.  SMTP - email mailing list
   4.  SMTP - email digest

Thus, it's a simple matter of subscribing to any new subgroup via email.

(Which is not to say that I think the group needs to be created, but only to
refute the assertion made above.)
