  Re: .off-topic groups
 
(...) I have to say I'm not for it... yet. IMO, there isn't enough traffic yet. And it really isn't that lego specific. But if you're looking to someday have LUGnet be an ISP :) then it might be warranted for future growth. (Also, it's difficult to (...)

  .off-topic groups
 
(...) If wonder if that doesn't set an uncomfortable precedent though. It would be confusing if .pun(s) went under .fun but .geek didn't. A lot of geeking is fun and a lot of puns aren't. So the cleanest thing (in my mind) would be either Forced (...) (25 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: .off-topic groups
 
(...) I don't think we need a pun group. I don't think, but I could be wrong, that the original requestors were serious. Puns are going to occur all over the groups anyway. You'd be forced (by some disgruntled posters) to "police" puns in other (...) (25 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: .off-topic groups
 
(...) Meant to add: off-topic.nlso - a place to kvetch about the other half :') (25 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: .off-topic groups
 
(...) LOL!!! "kvetch" is such a great word -- and almost onomatopoetic! Ah, the cryptic fun that could be had with a group named lugnet.off-topic.kvetch.nlso -- looks like someone bumped their forehead on the keyboard to make that name. :) --Todd (25 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: .off-topic groups
 
(...) I don't think we need it, either. Not by a longshot. But it could still be lot of fun. We can even print it out on rolls of toilet paper and send it to Mike every couple of weeks. (...) Nahhh, just 'cause there's a .pun group, doesn't mean (...) (25 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

  Re: .off-topic groups
 
(...) Hmmm, does a toilet paper printer jam require the use of a plunger? :') (...) the only danger I can see is unwanted puns turning into flame wars. (...) I assumed incorrectly and thought it would invite all sorts of quotes. I cna live with it (...) (25 years ago, 29-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Mike's having his own personal pity party here, folks. Either way, if .off-topic.pun is created or isn't created, Mike loses. :-) We'll have to create lugnet.off-topic.pity for this. ;-) --Todd (25 years ago, 29-Apr-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
