[redirecting to .admin.nntp] (...) I would really hate to see NNTP Message ID's floating around in HTTP URLs. A workaround is simply to use a standardized NNTP URL format -- for example: news://lugnet.com/qr...eos.uio.no That's postable as-is. Or, (...)

(...) Yea, that's a real pain. Sometimes I go to the web interface to follow a thread since you see the whole thread there, but then when the thread gets too big, it becomes worthless to follow it on the web interface because it's hard to keep track (...)

(...) There are reasons to keep a thread in multiple groups, see below. (...) Problem with requiring it on ANY cross posting is the discussions which legitimately belong in two or even three groups.

Well, after another few weeks of .debate, I'm really really thinking I'm just going to abandon it, and honestly, more and more, I'm feeling it's a waste of Lugnet resources to have it. There are two constantly recurring shouting matches: - Scott vs (...) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I can't think of a practical example for putting multiple groups in the followup-to header. Maybe it's just me ??? I don't think jerk-proofing needs to be a *high* priority around here, although it's good to jerk-proof when it doesn't impact (...) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I've been that everyone. Typically, the reason I do a "reply to all groups" is because I'm arriving in the middle of a large-ish thread, I have no idea what ng's other people have been using,[1] so I just leave things alone, and reply to all (...)

(...) I don't read the articles via mail, so the former is of little use, I'm afraid. And so is the latter, because I use Leafnode to read news offline.

(...) And via nntp, there's an xref header, for example, Dan's post has the following header: Xref: lugnet.com lugnet.admin.general:8506 (25 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) while this might not be what you need, notice that messages you get via mail from lugnet have this header attached: X-Message-Archive: (URL) you can link to that message directly, or just as "lugnet.year.2002:24"... :) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
