I don't know about that.

I don't think any of the issues are technical. Actually, I'd like to
see a lot of the traffic from L-CAD move to lugnet. But there's a lot
of other traffic that is more a private discussion among L-CAD'ers (like
hammering on whether to release a chrome or non-chromed antenna) that
doesn't really need to be on lugnet.
This is a very timely topic, since we managed to choke the list last
night. Again.
