Well I certainly don't agree with the RTLer's comments.

For me, the compartmentalization of LUGNET is one of its best features.
Each "compart" acts as an index.  Sorry, but its a dork that doesn't use an
index when searching for something.

However, regarding "constantly telling people where they can and can't post a
message on the threat of being expelled", as a suggestion of where the idea may
have come from, I remember raising concerns over the public repremanding of
rule/policy breakers (just did a search and couldn't find the post). The RTLer
may simply have the same concern.

That said, you and Suz have done an incredible job and I certainly would not
let the negative comments of one person weigh too heavily against the 100's of
people who are extremely happy with the services of LUGNET. Even with the
RTLer's comments, you two are batting about 0.995.
