Hello, Since I don't get replies to my emails (for whatever reason) lets try it this way. How long does it usually take to create a lugnet (lifetime) membership?

  New membership - Should it take this long?
 
Hello, I had created a new membership for my wife and it seems to be taking quite a bit longer than I thought it would. I made the payment via PayPal on 3/19 and I have yet to hear anything letting me know the membership is active. Is it normal for (...) (22 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: New group for LUG?
 
(...) You can't. There are no moderation or administration rights at the newsgroup level that are assigned. However, if what you mean is how do you become a curator(1) (2) then the answer is: read the newsgroup lugnet.admin.curators, especially the (...)

  Re: lugnet.market newsgroup not working?
 
(...) Yeah, I guess I do. Well, I would if I had any ideas of what to put there. If anyone has any ideas, I would be happy to hear them and make use of them.
