  Re: Bad news for NASA
 
There is some confusion in my mind about whether this topic belongs in .general or .nntp... read the charter for general and it's on topic there. Plus that's where every other admin post is. So FUT to both I guess. (...) Whether it was already a (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Bad news for NASA
 
This is a reply to both Kelly and Steve (close by in the tree) and the FUT is set to just admin.general (...) I don't know what's proper. We're experimenting. I hope people won't get too upset about it, till we get it right. I did an experiment (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Bad news for NASA
 
(...) Had further thoughts about this - are there guidelines about recognizing at what point a thread should be rerouted into a different group? This particular thread, IMO, is pretty harmless (now), but I can see how (URL) threads can deteriorate>. (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Bad news for NASA
 
(...) I think the topic of 'right level of notification/intervention' is worthy of public discussion. IMO, in this specific instance, the intervention was unnecessary. I hadn't read any 'debate' into the discussion, and any time 'NASA' and 'budget' (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Profanity Question (was Re: American Idolatry)
 
(...) It's not censorious, it's a condition of usage. No censorship is involved. (...) My personal preference is no. An administrative answer is, stay tuned. Personal preference again: Hold off till the answer comes down. (20 years ago, 22-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: American Idolatry
 
(...) No. Your search does not demonstrate that it is necessarily OK or not OK, it merely unearthed incidents of use. The only conclusion to draw there is that the admins chose not to take action for whatever reason, not that using it is necessarily (...)

(...) Lenny- I'm interested in shouldering some of the editing/proofing load. Given that I edit for a living, it might be of some use...:) Oh, and I've been around for a looo...ooo ooo...ooo ooo...ooong time. best LFB (20 years ago, 22-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: New Users Guide: Call for Volunteers
 
I can do some editing/proofing, and some writing. Part of my job is technical writing, and I do a bit of Web design (no nitty-gritty HTML coding, though). Just let me know. James Wilson, Dallas, TX Lugnet member #1783 (20 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: New Users Guide: Call for Volunteers
 
(...) As payment, you'll have to give me a little Lugnet logo next to my name, just like Lenny. Not. What did you guys have in mind? -JHK (20 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

  Re: New Users Guide: Call for Volunteers
 
I can't do any coding but I'd be happy to do some editing/proofreading/general writing. I'm here just about every night for a few minutes though I don't post much. (20 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

Dear LUGNET Users, One of the main goals of the LUGNET Tranisition Team is to make LUGNET more open and friendly to new members of the community.

  Re: Fed UP!!!!!!!!
 
(...) Perhaps each thread should be individually expandable/collapsible with this view option. Sometimes a thread starts out uninteresting to me, but a turn piques my interest and I start following. I'd hate to miss stuff like that (as I read (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Fed UP!!!!!!!!
 
(...) I've been thinking that it might be very useful if LUGNET had a mode (in the web interface) where only the first message in each thread were displayed. This would make it much easier for people to ignore the topics that they don't wish to read (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Fed UP!!!!!!!!
 
(...) I think I speak for all of us when I say... If we had seen this when only Randall had posted, that's where we would have started trying to guide to the right place. It was too late for that when I first saw it though. But I agree, his post was (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
