I see your point, these things spring up precisely due to the
fragmentation,   so we end up with more and more, maybe what can happen
is that this one forum can point to others,  as in if I create a topic
for both lugs, and within that topic simply post web links to each, 
then it signposts people to the user groups.

just a thought,

Paul
