(...) It's a pretty funny coincidence, actually. I'd been going over old archives of RTL(1) and then more recently LUGNET(2) as it came into being in 1998. At the same time, I happened to be chatting with Todd about something completely unrelated, (...) (4 weeks ago, 9-Jun-26, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Hi Suz, yeah, the ads became more and more annoying as well as disconnected to the other LUGNET content - if they can't provide delivery of relevant ads, we're better off not placing ads at all. Ads actually used to be sort of relevant and (...) (4 weeks ago, 9-Jun-26, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Interesting that there should be _missing_ posts after all these years. I had encountered a major hang in the internals of the news system the other day and resolved the same - for reasons entirely mystic to me that must have triggered (...) (4 weeks ago, 9-Jun-26, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Thanks! Just happy to know it's unintentional and not a sign of anything going away. Having this information still accessible is a wonderful thing; takes me back to better days of the Internet. :-) (4 weeks ago, 9-Jun-26, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Wow! Thanks for noticing and pointing out that these have gone missing. (...) There's actually no expiry mechanism for LUGNET news articles. However, it's possible to cancel an article on a case-by-case basis using a script internally. The (...) (4 weeks ago, 9-Jun-26, to lugnet.admin.general)

I'm sorry that the ads didn't work out. (though selfishly happy to see the site without them). :-) Thank you for all your work, Jerry. I'll be happy to send a donation. -Suz (...) (4 weeks ago, 9-Jun-26, to lugnet.admin.general)

Hi, I just noticed that articles n=1 and n=2 seem to have expired from each newsgroup. Those are the Welcome/charter and Terms of Use posts, respectively. Is this due to some intentional administrative action, or is there any concern that additional (...) (4 weeks ago, 9-Jun-26, to lugnet.admin.general) !

(...) Dear Jerry I am exploring the possibilities offered by the Lego Dacta/RoboLab kit I have just bought on Ebay. I used Lego Dacta in the first school I worked in back in the late 90s.
