I am glad you have gotten more out of Lugnet than you paid for, thats a good
thing. But, without us, there would be no lugnet, I am assuming that the
webhosting is not free - and that the membership fees were to help keep
Lugnet going - true we can not get a refund, but why would we ask for one?
We should have a voice in the matter - or be given a reason other that Lego
dilutes and breaks down the foundation of Lugnet, and hearing news elsewhere
would create more of a buzz - we just want a reason, we know this decision
has been made.

(...) I agree with most of what you said, but read the thread, we already _have_ gotten a reason. -Tim (26 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
