In going back through sff.net's sff.admin.discuss group, I came upon a
message that stated that somebody had found their posts to sff.net
groups archived on DejaNews (sff.net is a private news board just like
lugnet, except focused toward the Science fiction, fantasy, and horror

message here.
I thought you guys should know about this. If its happening to them it
might happen to lugnet as well
