|
|

However, ItLUG would like to have its own commercial subgroup, something like lugnet.org.it.itlug.market. (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jan-04, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) No! I don't think Frank meant it like that at all. But when traffic in an existing group gets to a certain level and it looks like it might be sustained, not just a flash in a pan, and it subcategorizes logically, it's certainly a valid thing (...)

(...) Ditto what Kevin said. I look at my ships from five years ago, compared with FdG (see the left side bar in .build.military), and then Takao ((URL) and there's a definite progression, aside from size of course.
