(...) Good question. Yes. Unfortunately, we're behind on printing and mailing. On the other hand, they're only a formality rather than a prerequisite to interaction. I appreciate your patience. --Todd (25 years ago, 3-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

I was wondering: Are membership packets still being distributed to all paid LUGNET members? I know this was being done when the first 100 or so members signed up, and it included (from what I read) some pretty neat things. Since only a few people (...)

Is there any easy way to migrate my private set list information in my membership webpage to the public list. I added it all as private (use to privacy on the NET) without thinking clearly about it :) Todd or whomever maintains the web forms, I (...) (25 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

Okay, so here's a question. Is it technically possible, and/or feasible to have private, possibly password-protected boards set up?
