Read each one yourself, maybe? <gdr> Seriously, though, I never felt any
hostility directed towards me, and perhaps one should put the question to
the people who do haunt .db.inv, if they want to be fielding enquiries for
set inventories. I've certainly seen some requests for inventories in
there.

"Input! Need Input!" - Johnny 5, the robot starring in the movie Short
Circuit.
I guess it depends on whether they want a separate group to deal with
requests for set inventories. If they want a separate group for it, perhaps
lugnet.db.inv-request would be logical? I'm not sure.
Anyway, that's for someone to find out - I think it's a relatively
low-traffic group, which could explain why nobody ever complained to me
about my posts. :-)
