Hi Tim, If I'd realized you were looking for a community response, I would have stepped up sooner; I too am disappointed in the lack of administrative response. Personally, I suspect that Suz is approaching burnout WRT to Lugnet; It's a very large website and a equally large community, and there's a lot of responsibility in keeping it up. Some of the load has been shifted on the guide, but the news area of Lugnet is still all on 2 pairs of shoulders,and Todd's made it fairly clear that he can't put in the time he used to; from his low participation, I suspect he burnt out a while ago. :( I would also really appreciate an admin response, even if it's a plain "We don't have time to deal with newsgroup issues." Even that would clear things up. Personally, I would suggest offloading more responsibility to others. Lugnet needs either a full-time admin or many part time volunteers. I don't think a full-time admin is fair (to that person) or feasable (Lugnet can't afford to pay them) - please ask for volunteers. There's lots of willing hands out here. James Also, I suspect, on the same page.

(...) Gentlemen, I'm with you all on this one. Kevin put it all in perspective saying "how can one volunteer if there's no response when one tries?".

After a couple days, I'm surprised, if not sad, this hasn't been replied to. By the admins or by people in the community who feel the same way.
