G'day Todd, Over the past week or so I'd sent a couple messages your way regarding an intermittent posting problem using the web interface. I hadn't received a reply, but I guess you've been sick/busy. But anyhow, I have since been able to get a (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) 1) They're gunky looking. 2) They contain no useful information to a human. 3) They can be very, very long. I've seen some here bigger than 80 characters in length. That makes them unsuitable for URLs. 4) The thought of putting NNTP ID's in an (...) (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) It would still not solve the problem of refering to an article which is refered to by an article you have. Say you have a bunch of LUGNET articles downloaded locally.

(...) I wonder why. (...) Great, I'll do that! (...) When I read LUGNET offline at home, the Xref header has the article number on my local news spool. I don't think that number would be too interesting for anybody else. Fredrik (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

[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, (...)

(...) I agree with this. (...) Not a bad idea, no matter what ends up happening. Whereever there's a "missing group", add a link to the place where the group actually exists. (...) Yeah, that sounds right. Steve (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) I'd say that putting it under .publish is probably the best place to stick it. I think .publish has been pretty well pinned down as the best place for photography techniques.

I think those names sound like a good start, but if one is a subset of the other (that is, both are for movies but one is more general than the other), then they ought to be named lugnet.x and lugnet.x.y rather than lugnet.x and lugnet.x.y -- (...)

I think that as more people buy and begin using LEGO Studio, there are going to be more films posted and talked about on LUGNET. I'd like to propose the following new groups: lugnet.studios - the 'theme group', for discussion of the sets themselves. (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) Yeah. Hmm. I dunno. I was just making trouble, frankly I think .trade or .barter or even .swap would be fine.
