(...) Again, I am not trying to be argumentative, but I don't see this problem as one of maliciousness. That is, it isn't "jerks" who are multiposting individual groups, or not setting followups correctly. Just lazy people and people who know (...) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) How long does it take to generate the index? Can you subdivide the index at all (and do something like backup where you have incremental indices plus once a day or once an hour regenerate the complete index)?

Nothing much to do about that except make the page smaller - perhaps move all the FONT FACE entries to an all encompassing (...) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I think that's a bit extreme, although what I snipped below is good discussion fodder. I think a number of the recent cross posts have been initiated by people who either are new, or who don't post as often as some of us. An initial cross post (...)
