Pressing the submit button puts the entry box to +lugnet with no (...) (25 years ago, 5-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Interesting. I fed it your string above, and didn't take when I updated. - it returned me to my old filter (-.loc. +.loc.ca -lugnet.cad -lugnet.robotics). I tried +lugnet, and it accepted it. I re-entered my old string, and it accepted it. (...) (25 years ago, 5-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
