Unfortunately, the whole newsgroup system (not just Lugnet's implementation)
always relies on the poster to post to the relevant groups. For this reason,
the Lugnet web interface "default" of displaying all sub-groups may be
slightly counter-productive - new users using the WI to post in
.technic.bionicle for example will be happy to see their posts turn up
"automatically" in the .technic group, and not realise that others using a
news-reader will not see them. But I think the WI has other advantages (most
notably the "thread tree") which outweigh this.
I'm kinda getting used to using both interfaces - I generally use a
news-reader at work, and the WI at home. Both seem to work OK for me.
