(...) Heh heh. He wansn't saying or implying anything that absurd. He's talking about a local contest that's just noise (like a local sale) to anyone outside of the U.S. The U.S. may be a big place, but something local to the U.S. is still local, (...)

(...) Oh geez. (...) I suppose a US LUG couldn't post pictures of their meeting for people from all over to see in a non US-specific group, then, right? Simply on the basis that some people from other countries couldn't make it to the meeting. Get (...) (26 years ago, 9-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Ben is 100% correct here. No real harm done, but if this is really a US-only thing, then the discussion should migrate there. An initial announcement crossposting to .general and .loc.us probably ought to be tolerated if it has followups set (...)

That's what I thought... <puts on flame retardant suit> Why then did you post to .general [being for general interest] and not to .loc.us [for items of specific interest to US residents as opposed to the rest of the world]? After all...if I started (...) (26 years ago, 9-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us, lugnet.admin.general)

Todd, I just realized that I haven't received any Lugnet mail for a couple of hours, and when I checked news.lugnet.com, I saw some messages that I should have received.
