Whether Dragon should now be called a "Shuttle" is irrelevant (but
you'll find no reference whatsoever by SpaceX proclaiming
Falcon/Dragon to be a Shuttle.) This group was created way back when
to discuss the U.S. Space Shuttle.
Dragon is little different from Soyuz and Progress. Do you see any
posts about Soyuz and Progress in sci.space.shuttle?
sci.space.station is probably the best place for Dragon discussions,
as Dragon (and ATV, Soyuz, Progress, HTV, and Cygnus) only exists to
serve the Station now.
