Informal call for dicussion...


lugnet.clones
=============

Several people have suggested there be a "clones" group, or at least a clearer
specification of where clones discussions could/should take place.  Does a
lugnet.clones group make sense?

*  If it did exist, would discussions of imitation/off-brands naturally
   gravitate there?

*  If it did exist, would fans of clones have a nice and pleasant place to
   discuss clones, or would we see drive-by postings like "Giga-Blocs stink!" ?

*  If it did exist, would it annoy purists that it existed, or would it annoy
   them more than if it didn't exist?

(...) Maybe. I'm sure some would, and some people would certainly encourage that. (...) There would probably be some "product X stinks" stuff. :/ (...) It makes no difference to me at all. (26 years ago, 10-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Me, I'd just not subscribe. You could put something like: "If you don't want to talk constructively, please don't subscribe to this group" in the charter, maybe..... (26 years ago, 10-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I don't like the name "clone" It does not say intuitively to me Lego clones. This says, to me, Lugnet clones. *shrug* (...) I don't know (...) Probably we would get quite a bit of this, given the general run of thing, once we get more people. (...) (26 years ago, 10-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Yes. There's plenty of interest in the new clones, and whether things like hats and whatnot fit in with Lego bricks. (...) Oh, I don't think that matters too much. -gyug (26 years ago, 12-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I think lugnet.off-brand is a good name. KL (26 years ago, 12-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
