The idea is that each "message", "post", has an ID,
then as far as that's good, that each group
in the hierarchy has a name, and that, each
message has a date.  Then, the idea is to
make an LFF, that makes a folder for a group,
for a date, each its messages.

A filesystem is not a good match for all possible problems. Have you
considered an SQL database, which IS a good match for a large number
of problems?

Or NoSQL. Actually, if you think about it, NNTP server is kind of a
front for a NoSQL database. You can request a "key" (Message-ID), you
can list "keys" in a "bucket" (newsgroup), you can do some simple search
(XHDR, XPAT), etc.
