    Outside traffic [was: Another resignation] —Suzanne Rich Green
   (...) Growth can be defined many ways. One way is number of posts (which -has- dropped from what it was four years ago). But then, those posters may have become more concise in their messages. And perhaps individual groups, like robotics, have (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)  
   
        Re: Outside traffic [was: Another resignation] —Dan Boger
     (...) It shouldn't be hard to imlpement, from a technical point of view. Need to keep in mind though, that posts coming in won't be authenticated like LUGNET posts are - but we could just mark them like we do the robotics list... I think it would (...)

      (...) Tsk. You forgot to properly cross-post (XPOST) and set the followup-To (FUT), neglecting to include the proper group for suggestions, namely lugnet.admin.general. Please get a new form and try again. You'll have to return to the back of the (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

     (...) Instead of a number of top-level, one-ng trees, how about clustering these feeds under a single 'external sources' group. Something like lugnet.external-feed...sic-space? Or lugnet.loc.external....ass-space? (...) I'm not sure about pulling a (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

         Re: Outside traffic [was: Another resignation] —Steve Bliss
     (...) Sorry, maybe I misunderstood. I thought you meant that (for instance) lugnet.space.C-S would be outgoing, and lugnet.external.C-S would be incoming. Of course, if the outgoing messages end up being echoed to the incoming feed, then everything (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: Outside traffic [was: Another resignation] —Steve Bliss
     (...) A couple of issues come to mind. First, some of these LUGNET-expatriate groups allow behavior not in-line with LUGNET's ToS. So pulling their traffic into LUGNET would result in LUGNET hosting posts that might violate ToS. Second, the existing (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
    
         Re: Outside traffic —Suzanne Rich Green
     (...) Yeah, I know the ToS caused some smaller groups to go elsewhere. (it's worth mentioning that some of 'em -really- miss the LUGNET interface/mechanics.) For such a case, I was imagining visual indicator of activity - like a meter or (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
