Unless you sign YOUR posts as "news admin" or something similarly official,
I certainly do wonder when they are official or unoffical, so yes, I agree.

I've been giving this a lot of thought, and upon your recommendations,
Larry, I've decided to change the way I post.

I think that's a great idea.

I haven't decided on an
official LUGNET admin sig yet, but for starters I'll definitely be making
the 'From:' header be an @lugnet.com address for official LUGNET admin-type
posts.

You *could* do that. but I think the message is more important than the
package. What matters more to me is the signature rather than how it got
posted...

If I get sloppy or forgetful, I will probably have the newsserver
start rejecting messages from me in the .admin groups if I accidentally post
there using my private email address.  I might also place restrictions on
the groups that I can post in using an @lugnet.com address.

I'm not sure I would do that. I think you need to be able to step into ANY
group and say what you need to say. You're the administrator. If a brawl is
going on in a group, you ought to be able to go in and say "stop", or
whatever... (not as a censor, mind you, but as an administrator)
