| (...) 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 (...) (23 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 (...) (23 years ago, 15-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 (...) (23 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
