I can say this - if Todd continues to make this a less and less friendly place to
be (and relegating AFOLs that happen to work for TLG to Second Class Citizenship IS
less friendly, not to mention asinine), if TLG does an endrun around LUGNET, I'll
use it and drop LUGNET in a split second if the TLG system is friendlier.
This is one more nail in the coffin pushing me back to RTL. I'd rather have NO
rules and wade through too many useless posts than have too many rules (like this
one, that would force me to bounce all over different groups to follow a thread
simply because posters in that thread are AFOLs and TLG AFOLs).
Todd, I know you may think you are making things better, but all I can see is that
you are seriously #$()*ing things up.
