  Re: Newsgroup structure: some tough decisions
 
(...) 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)

  Re: Newsgroup structure: some tough decisions
 
(...) I agree. Keep the .loc prefix. But it might be a good idea to move all the regional "org" groups under .loc, so there's only one geographical hierarchy. 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)

  Re: Newsgroup structure: some tough decisions
 
(...) I agree. But "rant" doesn't really go with "praise" - how about "whine" instead? 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 (...)

(My newsreader objected to my attempt to reply to Todd's original message, so I'm replying to a followup) (...) Lugnet.lego.{rant,rave,debate} get my vote. That makes it more clear that they are distinct from the non-lego groups. I'm not sure (...) (24 years ago, 6-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) It may also have been a misreading of this statement: (...) I've got some very mixed feelings about the April Fools jokes. This has been kicked off by the current business with the supposed NGLTC highway cleanup sign. One thing I'm really (...) (24 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.admin.terms)

(...) Right... so users promise that the info they give about themselves is true, but not that information in particular posts is. Since we're coming up on April, I guess I think that's a good thing!

(...) I'm not aware of anything in the TOS/T&C[1] about this either. Alex may be thinking of the news-posting setup form[2], where there is a checkbox that says: "I swear that all the information I am submitting on this page is correct and that I am (...)

(...) Yea, I don't think you can determine that, and thus I don't think that idea would work. 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 (...)

(...) Some disadvantages: - On browsers which present the newsgroup list as a hierarchical tree, it's nice to just skip the whole .loc hierarchy - An alpha sort of the newsgroups won't keep the loc groups together In fact, I've actually been (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

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)

(...) I'd be happy with .au.LegOz. I'd think regional LUG discussion could go in .au.nsw, .au.vic, .au.qld etc, avoiding too much clutter. Does .au.market sound like a goer (pending Todd's okay)?

(...) Hmmm. I'm not sure we need a .au.org. Couldn't we just have .au.LegOz, .au.SLUG, .au.BUG, .au.MUG, etc., with any national stuff just going in .au.LegOz? This forces people to think about which organisation they're posting to / about. (...) (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)

(...) Do you mean the kind of cross-org talk that happens in groups like lugnet.org and lugnet.org.xx, or the kind that happens when someone from one org posts in another org's group?
