I am as bewildered as anyone else here.....  I thought that there wasn't enough
interaction between LD and LUGNET as it is.  And I certainly would like someplace
within LUGNET where we (LUGNET folks) could interact freely with TLC in a total
forum, where we wouldn't be restricted by WHO we were in posting to that
forum.  I still have a million questions for LD, but I appreciate other AFOLs
interactions in these questions, because they give me additional insight into what
I am asking.  Does such a site in LUGNET now exist?

There seems to be some issue here. The Eric's (two of them) have posted elsewhere, and have been found to 'get it' by the admin-fig. The presence of TLC on lugnet has had some 'minor' positive effects. One case in point, that I doubt would have (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.lego.direct)
