| | | (...) 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 (...) (26 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

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 (...)

| | | | | (...) 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.

| | | | | | | | (...) 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 (26 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
