A new wide-spanning newsgroup for LEGO enthusiasts in Europe (European Union and European countries) has just been created. This will help minimize massive crossposting in the case of wide topic discussions such as a European LEGO Fest. (...)

I would personally vote against removing sensor communications from the mainstream. If you do remove it, I think you'll deprive a lot of people from coming up with the imaginative solutions to some of the more challenging sensor problems. I (...) (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Since this issue along with the "shouldn't the posting of the Space Shuttle sale at Zainy Brainy be done in another newsgroup" are of interest to me, FWIW, I'll add my $.02. I only see what comes through the robotics email list. If the email topic (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
