Mike,
It looks like what Chris meant was re-posting the message to the same group
rather than an appropriate group. He posted the following message in
lugnet.robotics at 13:55:11 GMT today...
http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.robotics:2685
...after posting here at 13:54:17 GMT...
http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.admin.general:767
...which is the message you replied to above.
Chris,
You are no longer allowed to post to the lugnet.robotics newsgroup until you
can chill out a bit and learn to respect the rules and guidelines about
postings. Although the rules are seldom 100% black and white, you were
relieved of the burden of interpretation and specifically tasked to stop
posting off-topic messages to lugnet.robotics:
http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.robotics:2674
You were also given reasons why not to post off-topic, and you were
suggested a better place to post, and you were asked if you were having
trouble accessing the other groups.
You read the message, you responded to it, and then you either ignored it,
misinterpreted it, or disrespected its warning and suggestions. In any
case, in order to prevent your further disrupting the robotics group, your
privilige to post there has been suspended.
You are still allowed to read lugnet.robotics and to post to other lugnet
groups.
If you can demonstrate (over some period of time) that you are willing to
observe and respect the boundaries and subject matter of groups, your
privileges to post to lugnet.robotics will be restored. Of course, if you
go the other direction -- and post off-topic in other highly focused groups
-- then it will be necessary to further limit your posting privileges.
Consider yourself warned, and feel free to ask follow-up questions here so
that you can come to a clear understanding. There are many people here who
are willing to help answer questions.
Regards,
--Todd
