Therefore topics relating to Basques, Brazilians or Catalan might also appear in this group. However, I do not believe Spanish, Portugese, Catalonian, Basque language articles should be restricted to this newsgroup. People might want to discuss LAN's in one of these languages. Such an article would belong in net.lan and not net.nlang.iberian.
