  A suggestion for posting via the Web interface
 
Todd, I just spent about an hour, on and off, typing a deep, well thought out message to post via the Web interface. Lack of sleep and clumsy fingers made me close the window before posting the message to the intended groups. Stupid me. I was (...) (23 years ago, 20-May-01, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Skip-filter limit?
 
(...) Okie dokie... I upped the allowable characters in the text box from 200 to 1000... Lemme know if it worked. (23 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Lugnet acronyms
 
I'm not sure why, but all of a sudden, at 2:54PM QLD time, on Wednesday, May 16, 2001, I couldn't access that page. Weird. And then, just as quickly the display error disappears again. Nice work getting that acronym up so fast, Shiri! Added: (...) (23 years ago, 16-May-01, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.technic)
 
  New Georgia State flag
 
I noticed today that the LUGNET members database for Georgia still has the old state flag. Just wanted to let you know that the flag was changed at the begining of this year. You can see an image of the new flag at: (URL) won't get into the whole (...) (23 years ago, 16-May-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Skip-filter limit?
 
Here's an interesting problem... I would like to add a group to the skip-filter, but to do so would take me over the pre-defined character limit for the text box (I think that's what's happening... at least, I type, and the field stops accepting (...)

  Re: Hey Todd, terms/charter type question
 
(...) No, as long as you're reasonably polite about it, I don't have any problem with you emailing people directly and asking if they could stop. You could also BCC me on the mail if you like. (...) If that's not something you feel comfortable (...) (23 years ago, 14-May-01, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.terms)
 
  Hey Todd, terms/charter type question
 
I have a question for you and I believe that this is more appropriate than admin.terms but not completely sure about it. I've seen in the past week or so a couple of people posting auction notices in buy.sell.trade (one mentions ebay in the title, (...) (23 years ago, 14-May-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Sopwith Camel
 
(...) A few days - not bad. ;-) Somewhat nitpicky I know, but the small image is very blurry, and the main pop-up doesn't work. SRC L#765 StRuCtures (23 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Before you post annoyance
 
(...) Signing in and selecting "until I sign out manually" was indeed the fix I needed (as I had deleted my cookies the day before). Thanx! SRC L#765 StRuCtures (23 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Lugnet CSOTW Spam
 
Well, then, I'm sorry to have stirred things up. Few things get my dander up faster than phone solicitors and email spam from private parties. (Not much can be done about spam-bots) I'm glad it was a mistake, and not an actual spam effort. ~Mark (...) (23 years ago, 9-May-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Lugnet CSOTW Spam
 
All ~ First of all, the Lugnet CSOTW Spam came from me. Unfortunately, before this evening, I did not know what "spam" was or, for that matter, whose e-mail was in my address book. This was not a "massive spam", I only wanted to send the site (...) (23 years ago, 9-May-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Todd, could you please resend me my password?
 
Todd, my server won't let me send normal mail to you, so I'm sorry I have to ask this way. My system crashed and my settings are all messed up, and some data was lost. Right now I get prompted every time in lugnet replies if I have read the terms of (...) (23 years ago, 9-May-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Lugnet CSOTW Spam
 
(...) I got one as well. I did have a transaction with the person a few months ago, though, so I'd guess they just emailed everyone in their address book... Jeff "You spoony bard!" (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Lugnet CSOTW Spam
 
(...) yah, I got the same exact mail, and also got it on one of the lego club mailing lists I read - with the exact same message id - massive spamming, imo... I think that site should be removed from the nomination. but that's just me :) (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Lugnet CSOTW Spam
 
I received this message in my email box this morning. (...) I have snipped the sender's email, to protect their privacy. Usually I just forgive the occasional random emails about LEGO that I occasionally receive from people I have bought from (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Length of lines
 
(...) 80 is the width of the "standard" screen, but messages should be wrapped somewhat before that. (23 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Length of lines
 
(...) If it was 80, and most screens were 80x24, as soon as the first quote happened it would wrap wrong. :) 72 has been the de-facto standard for as long as I can remember (i think? was it ever mentioned in an RFC?). (23 years ago, 5-May-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
