No offense taken, Lenny. My day job for the last seven years has been "administering" an e-commerce web site that encompasses several hundred different organizations and handles anywhere from 5 to 7 billion US dollars in transactions each year. I (...) (20 years ago, 24-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)  
 
  Re: Badgering emails

While it's preferred, I don't believe that it's absolutely required, but (...) (20 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Context: LUGNET is not a democracy
 
I've been accused of taking this quote out of context. LUGNET is not a democracy. Here are all the contexts I found this quote used. Short of providing the entire text, I'll provide reasonable context. If more context is desired, I'll be happy to (...) (20 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general) ! 
 
  Re: I resign from the LPRV committee
 
(...) The question was not directed at me, but I can give *my* perception of the situation. "No-one bothered to comment in public on the offense" This means that other people, reading just the groups, not having insight into private e-mails, other (...)

  The light touch (was Re: I resign from the LPRV committee
 
(...) OK, to clarify, in your opinion, are you saying this particular clause of the ToU should not be enforced at all? Or just not in this particular case with respect to this particular post? If not at all, why not? It's really a hot button with (...) (20 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: I resign from the LPRV committee
 
(...) Yes Larry it is EASY! I KNOW what ~I~ would do. walk away! ignore it. IF this is what you did, then good for you. if not...... (shrug) more of the same-ol' same-ol' i guess. The ToU and its enfocement should be more about the "spirit" then the (...) (20 years ago, 23-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
