  my “button pushing” opinion! ;)
 
(...) Larry, No. I'd start to worry when (arguably justified) personal attacks on a LUGNET admin are (URL) spotlighted> on LUGNET's homepage. For that to happen once is very unfortunate. For it to happen repeatedly… I'd be further concerned when (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) Not really, no. I agree that's the desired end state but that's not what the server does now, is it? I'm asking about what should be done NOW. (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) Um, huh? Why in the world would we NEED to do anything in PHP? And even if we did, what's the issue? But aside from that, if the Server Switch is step one, let's take it! (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Context: LUGNET is not a democracy
 
<snip> It just makes me sick that a post such as this is the top highlight. What do you think would run through a visiting 8-yearold's mind when they read this? (URL) -Duane (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)  
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) There are more issues that just switching to a new server. For example, Lugnet runs on perl, and many of these automatic-emails would need to be produced by php coding or what have you. Code that needs to be written. Server switch is step one. (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: LUGNET members association
 
Could you guys please start a new thread with all this feces? It seems this thread has fallen victim to name-calling and the other normal antics... Back on topic. Evey decently large community has a members' association. I bet a few of you who live (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) Why not? Why can't we switch to the new servers? AFAIK the domain issue has been resolved? (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) #1 How would the user know there was a problem? #2 Assuming the user knows there's a problem, how can he possibly fix it if he doesn't control the mail server (or the ISP, or whever the block is occuring)? Asking that HE change his email (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) I think this is the biggest issue here. The Admins have been trying to operate on a boat that is either malfunctioning or in the process of being fixed. There is all sorts of "you should do this or that" - they'd love to, but they can't RIGHT (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) I agree. I'd give it high priority once coding resumes in a major way, but it's not there yet. (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: LUGNET members association
 
(...) Sounds like the double standard again. I was called to town for asking users to respect Admins, and everyone said there is no way to police whether people respect us or not. And now you're trying to call Larry out because he doesn't respect (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)
 
  Re: LUGNET members association
 
(...) Is saying someone wigged out a personal attack? Is it beaving to a different standard? DOesn't sound like you are unpholdin' to you own rules. You commiteed to do better. Kevin (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) You know, I have to agree on this. This would be a great step forward in understanding whether the communication taking place is with the admin Hat on or the admin Hat off. It seems like such a small thing, but it would go a long way in (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) There's no faulting flowing from this direction, merely a statement that there's a problem at the user's end. (...) Sorry, why not? I'm not clear on that really. If a user has a malformed or malfunctioning mail, why isn't that the user's issue (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: LUGNET members association
 
(...) Is that really a problem? I agree at some point *you* may wish to stop arguing, but why ask everyone else to? I think the problem with saying "The decision stands, we don't see the point of people discussing further" (or in fact ANY way of (...)

  Re: LUGNET members association
 
(...) Well, as long as it was Scott, it was easy enough to disregard. It was just Scott, after all, noted button pusher. But when we get this mistrust from people we used to respect before they wigged out, or people we still do want to respect for (...)

  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) I don't know? Be aware that your emails might not be getting where you send them, and not fault the user for it? It's STILL not the users' issue to solve. (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)  
 
  Re: LUGNET members association
 
(...) Yeah, I don't believe this. The LPRV is a great example. The Admins gathered a group of people and said, we trust you guys! We want to know what you think! And then, seemingly out of nowhere, they started accusing the Admins of creating a (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)
 
  Re: LUGNET members association
 
(...) Wow. You're right Ross, that is worded much better. That reminds me, I probably shouldn't be posting this right now without my lawyer being present. There might be some minor misunderstanding that prompts endless accusations at my character (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.suggestions)
 
  Re: I resign from the LPRV committee
 
(...) What, you haven't been reading all two hundred posts over the past few days and the four hundred emails discussing how best to respond. (...) Well thanks Chris. Maybe you could tell us what that 'something' is that you're waiting for? (...) (...) (20 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
