(...) I know this isn't perfect but I would lit to make a suggestion. First changing setups for the web interface is a PITA, I agree with Larry on that. I did just try something using NNTP using Netscape 6 however that makes it very easy to do. In (...) (24 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Wow, you're on a big reality kick today. Interesting. Anyway, without getting all needlessly philosophical, you wouldn't mind pointing out where those examples are, would you? I can't think of any example that's been given that really (...) (24 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) Have you actually tried this process to see what a PITA it is? I suspect not. Once you try it, consider what it would be like to have to do it several times a day or more. I doubt you've considered that either. Computers *exist* to make things (...) (24 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Examples have been given. That you choose to ignore them is your choice but doesn't change what reality actually is. Switching identities is a PITA. Try it. So the net effect of this new rule is that when an answer to a question asked in a (...) (24 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) Well I may be mistaken but I think that Todd and Suz may feel a bit betrayed by LD. The one example that comes to mind is the T-Shirt Thread.

(...) I know it's a bit inside out... but talk to Sproat and look at avid. Details are hazy but it may be of some help to you.

Just to add another point: I don't usually read LUGNET postings off the web site, but get some of the groups as daily email digests. I like seeing announcements for limited items at LSAHS in the market newsgroup. But now, I will never see these (...) (24 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.lego.direct)
