Well, after another few weeks of .debate, I'm really really thinking I'm just going to abandon it, and honestly, more and more, I'm feeling it's a waste of Lugnet resources to have it. There are two constantly recurring shouting matches: - Scott vs (...) (26 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I can't think of a practical example for putting multiple groups in the followup-to header. Maybe it's just me ??? I don't think jerk-proofing needs to be a *high* priority around here, although it's good to jerk-proof when it doesn't impact (...) (26 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I've been that everyone. Typically, the reason I do a "reply to all groups" is because I'm arriving in the middle of a large-ish thread, I have no idea what ng's other people have been using,[1] so I just leave things alone, and reply to all (...)

(...) I don't read the articles via mail, so the former is of little use, I'm afraid. And so is the latter, because I use Leafnode to read news offline. This means that the LUGNET articles get a different article number on my local news spool. So (...) (26 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) And via nntp, there's an xref header, for example, Dan's post has the following header: Xref: lugnet.com lugnet.admin.general:8506 (26 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) while this might not be what you need, notice that messages you get via mail from lugnet have this header attached: X-Message-Archive: (URL) you can link to that message directly, or just as "lugnet.year.2002:24"... :) (26 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

In USENET, an article is refered to by it's Message-ID. Now, LUGNET is not USENET, and here articles are normally refered to by the article number on the server. This makes it a bit hard for me (or anyone else who reads from the SMTP or NNTP (...) (26 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

Todd, I realize you are busy with other things but I thought I would mention an idea I had. I have noticed there has been some excessive cross-posting in regards to movies due to the lack of a specific group. What about creating a ng called .movies (...)
