Chris ... I think you are trying to do little more than argue an argument
to it's unarguable end. That is why Ross Crawford redirected it to .debate
when he did. What problem are you having with the solution that the Site
Administrator Rene Hoffmeister decided to implement in this case? Perhaps
it is Rene you should be arguing with, not Ross, and since Rene rarely
changes his mind once he makes his administrative decision, I doubt there is
much point in further useless debate cluttering up the .admin.general
newsgroup on this server.
Kindly realize that you are not the only person reading LUGNET, and while
some may find it interesting I find that you are getting extremely boring
nitpicking Ross to the last nit on the planet in this case of an
administrative action that went slightly wrong. I'm hereby calling for Rene
to either lock/delete further replies to this thread - if that can even be
done - or move them to .debate where they belong.
As far as I can see no overall harm has actually been done, it just created
some confusion which has since been sorted out. Please, everyone, give the
debating in .admin.general a rest.
I'm a subscriber to LUGNET newsgroups through their NNTP server and I do
hang out on LUGNET at the moment, and I'm really shocked to see that people
will continue to argue to the death of the argument - that almost killed
LUGNET once, I don't want it being done again.
Cheers ...
