Well, I could obviously be wrong, because I can't read what was in people's 
minds when they set up certain structures, but when someone sets up a 
pgsql-foo-general list, then it certainly seems to be a list for anything 
related to "foo", rather than a PostgreSQL user group in the "foo" region.

The fact that most of the early discussion about "anything" in the "eu" region 
was about forming a user group should not be seen as evidence that the 
pgsql-eu-general list is specifically and exclusively for EU user group 
affairs now.  What would we do if anyone really wanted a list for general EU 
things?

Well, pgsql-eu-general is still listed as a regional list, which I was under 
the impression was its intent, but if it is a user group list now, it should 
be moved, and aliased to something more descriptive.
