Another issue is the fact that many LUGNET members have paid good money to
become members. I think those people's voices MUST (at least a strong
should...) be heard on this issue. We paid in part to support Todd & Suz's hard
work, but we should also get some things that we like in return.

So, I think it might be fair to ask paying members if they think TLC employees
should be allowed to post freely on all newsgroups. If none of us had paid into
this, I wouldn't see such a problem with Todd's edict,  but given that probably
dozens (or more?) people have paid, and TLC sure as heck paid, I think we
should be given a voice, although we might not be 100% entitled...

Good point!  Something that someone mentioned to me today but I forgot about
since then.  I'm a paying member and that should say something.  I'm also
sure other large contributors (unfortunately due to my financial state, I
was only able to give the minimum) want to be given a bit more consideration
with stuff like this, too.

(...) I hear the sentiment but I have to come out and say this: You pay (to become a member) which gives you right to use LUGNET in whatever form or shape it is in, subject to your not violating the ToS, not for the right to influence that form or (...)
