(Wow, I just looked at the stats for this group, and you account for 18.3%
of the posts to lugnet.trains in the past 7 months -- 4 times as much as the
next most frequent poster.  :)

Well... you know... when you know four times as much about the topic as
the next most frequent poster, that happens. <grins, ducks and runs>

or are you thinking ahead?

Always.  :)

Shocked, just shocked.


Matthew Bates:
I'm not against it either but I think if club related stuff were
off in another group then I'd probably never read it since I'm not
in any club. And that would remove a possible incentive to get me
interested in joining/starting/attending a club.

In the robotics sub-groups, what happens is that the lower-level groups (the
more focused groups) make occasional cross-postings to the higher-level
group (the more general group) to keep people in the loop on things.  Then
they set the followups to the focus group and go nuts on the details.

I guess that would work. IF people remembered to do it consistently.

Tom McDonald:

If it's too early for an lugnet.trains.org subgroup, that's OK.  I mainly
just wanted to know whether the basic idea/principle/nomenclature/structure
was sound.  Sounds like it is, since you independently arrived at a similar
conclusion.

yes, the basic idea/nomenclature is sound. Go for it if you want to.

Difficult to tell, but critical mass isn't much of a metric here as it is on Usenet, mainly because groups are archived and easily past-browseable and because it is so easy to create new groups and receive them as mailing (...)
