That has to be the lamest excuse I have heard. No post can be "put in your
face". People have a choice as to what threads they want to read and not to
read. What is the difference between Jake posting a message and JimJoeBob
posting the same message? Both are saying the same thing - so that excuse is
just that, an excuse. Saying you are locking them out to create more of a
buzz is complete bs, it has to be! You did this because you wanted more
'buzz' I may have been born at night, but it was not last night.

If someone in the trains group (for example) feels that something a LEGO employee posted about trains was relevant to a particular train discussion, don't worry -- you'll still hear about it. It's also a lot more genuine buzz (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
