| (...) Does it matter if they make a profit? If someone is going to go to a store and pick up some discounted set as a favor for someone, what's so terrible about them making a couple bucks on the deal? I think that very few AFOL's actually take in (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

And then the train.org can be org.train - the org section would only be for worldwide (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

| (...) I really like the idea of adding .ebay, .brickbay, and .lego-direct (but call it .shop-at-home or .lsahs) categories. However instead of .swap and .swap.updates I would suggest .barter, .forsale, and .wanted. --Bill. (24 years ago, 10-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

That might also keep people from taking themselves too seriously when posting there, if they're "whining" instead of "ranting". (...) In another thread, the term (...)

I wonder how many people would actually object to someone getting a cut when they find a good price on an item? I certainly am willing to give the buyer a (...)

For example would NELUG fit into the hierarchy as lugnet.us.nelug or would it be something different? I have (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
