Hi, I am wanting to remove posts I made from some now dormant accounts from the archive you hold. Telling the server to do this is straightforward as Lugnet accepts NNTP cancel requests.

Hi Lenny & Ben, would it make sense to have a category "LEGO Clubs / User Groups (local)" for all the XyzLUGs and another one "LEGO Clubs / User Groups (worldwide)" for e.g. LUGNET, LEGOFan.org etc.?
