  The sky is not falling
 
Hey all, So many times these threads begin with a complaint, so I just wanted to point out something positive. There has been much discussion recently about the spotlighting, and various ways to "fix" it (and, I admit, I've added my share of blather (...) (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Posting Policy Changes
 
(...) We've had a lot of trouble with spoofed IDs, and also with emails that were not possible to spam decode, or not possible for LUGNET itself to parse properly, which is not really related to whether someone has made a donation or not. Todd took (...) (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

I find it rather odd I can change my posting setup (...) (19 years ago, 25-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Badgering emails
 
(...) True. If LUGENT's servers end up on a blacklist again, it would be everyone's problem. But while Kevin could (and probably should) ask his ISP to unblock Larry's server, I would doubt one user would actually make much of an impact on them. So (...)
