Look, I'm sorry for posting a "non-topic" post, but since I like tis
newgroup, I posted here. Maybe I should try again?

Chris,

I would like you to please stop posting off-topic messages in the
lugnet.robotics newsgroup.  It is connected via an e-mail gateway to a
mailing list called lego-robotics@crynwr.com, where it is read by several
hundred serious adults who find off-topic posts extremely annoying.

Your question is appropriate in a group such as rec.toys.lego or
lugnet.general, but not in lugnet.robotics.

Are you having trouble accessing other newsgroups?

Please be aware that if you continue to post off-topic to the robotics
group, it becomes likely that additional people may register complaints
against you, which may result in a loss or suspension of your posting
privileges.

In general, it is a good idea to lurk in a group for a couple weeks or so
before posting, to form an understanding of what sorts of things are
appropriate and what sorts of things are off-topic.  In addition, it is
worthwhile to explore other groups to see if there are more appropriate
places before posting.

--Todd

(...) If trying again means posting it to an appropriate newsgroup, ie one geared towards more general discussion, yes. (26 years ago, 12-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
