What do you think about that? There don't seem to be many problems with confusion over .test groups, so I would say leave them alone unless it becomes a problem. Someone else suggested .announce -> .usenet.announce. I think this is also a bad idea. The .announce name is not generally a problem as long as the groups are moderated. .announce groups are also broader in scope than just usenet-related announcements. They should cover local events, meetings, and so on. I'm worried that we're going to end up renaming all the regional foo.* groups into foo.usenet.* at this rate. Let's keep it simple, and not try to fix what hasn't been demonstrated to be broken. -- Ty Sarna "Good leaders being scarce, tsarna@endicor.com following yourself is allowed."
