    Re: A tiresome tirade (Was: garbage output) —Linc Smith
   Sproaticus wrote in message ... (...) typically (...) frustration (...) <snip... very well spoken text> I have been away for awhile and have only now been able to start reading Lugnet again.

   (...) You agree with what's being said but not with how it's being said? (...) I think this particular problem has a complex history which goes back several months and involves several people. It didn't materialize quickly or suddenly. (...) (...) (25 years ago, 10-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

        Re: A tiresome tirade (Was: garbage output) —Todd Lehman
     (...) Good point -- Very Good point. Yet -- is it intimidating to the uninformed because of a lack of context in the flames? -- (too much tacit knowledge?) -- or just because of any kind of flamage is mean and intimidating? One thing (maybe) worth (...) (25 years ago, 11-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

I must admit that I haven't (cared to?) read all JW's posts on Lugnet, but from the ones I have read it appears that he has a different attitude to LDraw parts (...)

        Re: A tiresome tirade (Was: garbage output) —Todd Lehman
     (...) Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. (Not that there's anything wrong with being old.) By "elders" I just meant "old-timers" or "well-versed participants" in the sense of people who have been around the group for a long time and know the ins and (...)

      (...) I had to read that one twice, before I figured out who you meant. I realize I don't add a lot to RTL these days, but I didn't think I was pure noise. Steve (25 years ago, 12-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
    
         Re: A tiresome tirade (Was: garbage output) —Terry Keller
      (...) Really. I know how you feel. :-( I dread the day that someone offers me a "senior discount". (...) Thanks for the moral support there Todd.

         Re: A tiresome tirade (Was: garbage output) —Simon Denscombe
     (...) Well I don't think SB wanted to do damage but to sell below-retail priced LEGO to the RTL-community, I never saw anything wrong with that. No-on has had a go at dya-shopping in France for their continued retail posts every day - why not? I (...) (25 years ago, 13-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
    
         Re: A tiresome tirade (Was: garbage output) —Mike Stanley
     (...) SB was also a major profiteer when it came to older stuff and eBay. As for whomever your talking about in France, I only read messages that interest me now, and only those about once a week, so that's why I'm not "having a go" at this person. (...)

        RTL differences —Todd Lehman

         Re: RTL differences —Simon Denscombe
     (...) Compare and constrast :-) Classic GCSE English question. Well, I wouldn't compare them - they are 2 different groups for different uses.

        Re: RTL differences —Simon Denscombe
   (...) I know that's why it still exists now when it was killed in 1995. If we kill it's supply lines then the group will be severed and will have to die because posts will go nowhere. (25 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
