(...) This is the problem with accepting funds from TLC. Cynics will say that TL is TLC's pocket now, and that this is just a sign of things to come blah blah blah. Although, I very much doubt that is the case. To avoid any fuss in the future it (...) (26 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

From what I've seen of this information leak, it's a case of shutting the gate *after* the horse has bolted. If six million people suddenly knew WW3 was coming, but shouldn't have, because of some government department's stuff-up in transferring the (...) (26 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I disagree. Well I am adding fuel here, and I'll say that I think you ought to do what Lego asks when it's reasonable to do so, but it is always your "choice" to do or not do something. Even if Lego came over to your house and pulled a gun, (...) (26 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) No. I think it was user error! I went back to try to reproduce it and saw that the "linear all" was purple. Meaning I clicked on linear all when I thought I was getting "nested all" view instead. So never mind. However, consider putting (...) (26 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Except, of course, that TLC wouldn't have had permissions to cancel the articles if they were posted to Usenet. I suppose they could rogue cancel them but they'd get into a real storm if they did that just because of what the articles (...) (26 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I'm going to start by saying that I fully understand the Lugnet admins actions in this case.
