want to get involved, i was simply saying that yes, someone reading his
note would see *no* issues, and 2, we're lucky to have lugnet in the
first place.

     I don't think Paul is trying to organize desertion, I think he's well
aware of some of the discontent that has been expressed lately and he's
probably tired of it.  Instead of simply telling everyone to take their
disagreements elsewhere, he's offering the oppurtunity for them to vent here
and now, preferably in a constructive manner so that Todd can address some
of the issues first hand.  As for Paul having "no" issues, I think his
entire post is "the" issue...there are some people who have a problem with
some of the trends and changes Lugnet is taking, so let's have these
personal issues out in the open so that Todd might have the chance to clear
up confusion.
     Personaly I don't have any real issues.  I read Lugnet mostly for
entertainment and information.  So don't take it so serious.  Some people
have issues...let them take it serious.  I'm just along for the ride and
sometimes enjoy throwing my oppinions around.
     Thanks for the invitation Paul!

See lugnet.admin.nntp....

and imho, this isn't *our* site, it's Todds...

Yes and no (mostly yes). Yes, it is Todd's and Suzanne's site, but
without us the whole brew-ha-ha would be meaningless, so in a way it is
OUR site. And notice Paul isn't even claiming that we should set the
rules. He doesn't even demand Todd listen to our views (but does mention
that we owe it to him and the rest of us to make our feelings known -
which perhaps is too strong an expectation).

The point that Paul is making however is that if we (those of use who
have concerns) don't have our concerns considered and addressed, that we
may take ourselves elsewhere.

I want to highlight that administrative actions and discussions over the
past year or so are brewing dissention. What we all risk if we let
things fester is disintegration of a wonderful community.

FUT: lugnet.admin.nntp (to bring the discussion where it is occuring,
though I'm not sure if that's where it really belongs).
