  Re: valid email addresses
 
(...) So is there something I should do? Jason Spears | (URL) BrickCentral> | (URL) MichLUG> | (URL) CLB> (20 years ago, 27-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  valid email addresses
 
Can we fix the registration form for the newsgroups to require that the email address provided is actually valid, as far as the RFC goes? At the very least, require that it will match /.*@.*\..*/? The reason is that SMTP breaks otherwise - see (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  New Lego Group requesting LUGNET newsgroup
 
The Chicago LEGO® Builders (CLB) would like to request (1) the creation of the group: lugnet.org.us.clb A little information about the club (not sure if necessary, but possibly useful.) We had our first meeting on 3/13 and a few more in the (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Bad news for NASA
 
(...) Embarassing? No. Regrettable, perhaps. But please do bear with us. This one thread is messier than one might like, yes, but hopefully overall future admin activity will be the better for it. As for ObNASA's I did consider including some but (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)
 
  Re: Bad news for NASA
 
Don't you think it is a little embarassing that the thread is now 75% administration Lar? I pushed "nested inline" in the expectation of lots of juicy NASA stuff. You didn't even include an "ob NASA" anywhere. :( You must go back N levels to (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)
 
  Re: Bad news for NASA
 
(...) Yes, I agree with that as a general principle. I do think this one was already over the line though. But I'm massively compartmentalised. Should a "is this here instead of there?" post/question precede a forceFUT? I dunno. It's possible to (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Profanity and bowdlerization
 
The LUGNET admins have talked about this topic and reached the following consensus. We're inclined to go with a strict interpretation of the ToS. The ToS was put in place in order to give LUGNET a certain flavor, and we'd like to retain that flavor. (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: New Users Guide: Call for Volunteers
 
(...) Hey Lenny, I've got a Few ideas. First, the personal webpages are a hugely underused feature of Lugnet. On the front page there is a button for how to go about making a personal page, but there is no master list (or at least none that is (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Bad news for NASA
 
(...) I agree, I'm not sure. I assumed it would belong in .nntp, just because we're talking about threading, and how it should work... But looking at the nntp charter, it's not clear if it belongs there or not. (...) Heh, whatever I think of bashing (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jul-04, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Bad news for NASA
 
(...) The fact that past threads became debates doesn't mean that talking about NASA is OT for .geek. I'd recommend judging each thread by it's own contents, not by the history of the subject. (...) Regardless if anyone actually replies to the (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.admin.general)
