Now that I'm reminded of it, I'll try to include a warning whenever I post a link over there ..though I doubt that'll happen often. I (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

| I do generally prefer NNTP, but web based does have a few advantages. Here are my pros and cons for each (not specific to LUGNET unless specified): NNTP Pro: User selectable client software allows greater tuning of the interface. My software is in (...)

| Lenny, LUGNET is notionally a "family" site. Please don't link to outside pages which contain examples of your (or anyone else’s) foul language. :- Scott A (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

Lenny, as someone else that is concerned about the future of Lugnet, but that has "started their own site and runs it how they want", I think totally dissolving your relationship with Lugnet is (IMO) an over-reaction.
