OK coming through LOUD and clear :-))
And I would just like to say I LOVE LUGNET as well. Although as a co-creator
your level of LOVE probably runs a bit deeper than mine :-)
I check the newsgroups at least twice a day usually more, and I love the new
MOC's the little jokes people make, the funny signatures some members have
made an art form off etc. etc.
Sadly for a time there, seemed to be more arguing than anything else..
It just wasn't as much fun :-(

Yes if you could because the whole thing came as big shock to me. I'm sorry
if i am prying.

Thanks for taking the time Suz.
It is obvious you care about LUGNET a great deal. And that makes me feel a
lot better..
