(...) Yeah.... plus, people wouldn't encounter acronyms directly on the front page anyway! It's the newsgroups where they appear frequently. Still, I'd get kinda annoyed if there was an acronym on every news page. Maybe on the news' front page? (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) That's sounds pretty cool. I would go even farther and have a randomly selected acronym appear on any newsgroup page on LUGNET, say at the top or something. It would be just like the taglines that used to appear on BBS's in "The Old Days". By (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.admin.general)

Hi Eric! Don't apologize for getting off-track - I was just confused whether you misread my post, or I misread yours. ;-) (...) Wow! I like that. Once it got coded, it would be no extra work to post it "every week" or whatever. I think that *in (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.admin.general)

Crossposted to admin.general (...) <snip> While I can't take credit for Duane's great idea this is even better than what I was thinking. I was thinking just a post with an allready defined Acronym once a week to keep the visability of the page up in (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I often have this problem on the start-up page when I first start IE (my start-up page isn't Lugnet though), but after that no problems. I think it's more likely to be a client (ie IE) problem.

I have a URL: that reads for lugnet like this: (URL) have to click refresh in my browser before the page will load or IE5 brings back a 'page cannot be found' error. This also happens as often as not, IE it's intermittent. What is happening and what (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Shaun, I don't know if this helps but you can set up multiple posting accounts with LUGNET. You would fill out the setup on each computer and use the appropriate E-mail that would come to that computer. This way each computer has a cookie on (...)
