(...) No hard feelings here at all. I didn't take it personally. Mis use of .general was an issue for you, and my post was the one that seemed to have lit the spark to let Todd know your feelings. And he agreed with you. I learned a little something (...) (26 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Hmm, now that's an interesting hypothetical post. By current rules, it would seem that such a post should not be placed outside of lugnet.market.auction or lugnet.org.au (currently the only two groups I'm aware of which specifically welcome (...)

(...) That sounds like the definition for lugnet.announce (which does indeed force you to set followups). My impression is that lugnet.general is for discussions which don't have a better newsgroup (or set of newsgroups) to be discussed in. I think (...)

The reason my message was probably harsher than it should (...) (26 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us, lugnet.admin.general)

If a local group is more appropriate due to the fact that something is localized, then the discussion should migrate there, ya (always to the most appropriate group).

(...) When I made the original post, I did not know it was US only. I went and checked after you asked. At that point I guess I should have set follow up to .loc.us. When you noticed I didn't, you could have reminded me instead on putting on the ol' (...) (26 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us, lugnet.admin.general)

That wasn't what my main complaint was about...What I didn't like was that it was posted to .general ONLY, with no reference to .loc.us [where it would have been more appropriate for the following discussion for a US only competition.] I have (...)
