I read all the messages in the thread and some of the refering but couldn’t
get the reason which led to the dicission(?) to shut down LUGNet on Oct 1..

Regarding how October 1st was chosen, Suzanne says in her
blog:
”... I need to set a deadline. A shutdown clock will initiate shortly. It’s
very real and all-encompassing. Everything will be gone from www.lugnet.com
but for a pointer in about twelve weeks (possibly Oct 1, 2005). That’s not
to say the data won’t live on elsewhere; I’m sure it will. It’s just that
Todd and I can’t be responsible for it any more ...”

Hi Robert:
With due respect, did you happen to read what Suz herself wrote
here? Here’s the central
point, IMO:
No piece of a
blog entry should be pulled out, given a title and posted at LUGNET with an
implication that an announcement has gone unnoticed by LUGNET users.
What will be, will be, of course. But I suspect that it will be more helpful
to allow Suz to circulate her announcements here on LUGNET at her own pace.
Dave!

I am still struggling with the timing. I’m relieved that there has been no rush
of panic!
Here’s what I’m thinking at the moment... For my own sanity, it seems reasonable
that a rough course of action be decided upon by Aug 1. That is to say, I’ll
have listened to a whole bunch of people by then, asked questions, looked at
data, etc. and should have a plan (which may or may not be the same one I held
in hand when I wrote the blog entry quoted above). A “plan” will just mean that
a clock starts counting down, and we all understand some guidelines for what
sort of good news might stop the clock.
I apologize for my still not being sure about those two dates, but sixty-ish
days seems like a reasonable amount of warning before a shutdown, yes?
