Twice this week now I've gotten a message that: "The distribution of your message dated Wed, 20 Jan 1999 21:02:47 -0600 with subject "Re: LDAO 2.0.1, et al" has been postponed because the daily message limit for the L-CAD list (50) has been (...) (26 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)

Last is mostly my fault. I fired off a *bunch* of replies to various messages, instead of compiling them into just a few messages. I think I would be most happy if Todd would be willing to create a new ng for L-CAD. lugnet.cad.l-cad *sounds* (...) (26 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I agree. I haven't been following the discussions concerning this on the lugnet.admin.general ng lately, though. There's so many words there, like. But count me in as a supporter of the ng. This needs to be discussed on the L-CAD list, of (...) (26 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)

BTW, gating l-cad to lugnet won't solve the server choking problem. If anything, it will make it worse. But that won't bother those of us on the lugnet side of things, will it? Steve (...) (26 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)

I went through the lugnet.admin.general discussion on this topic. Actually, I had looked for such a thread but would not have found it under the "Informal CFD..." heading had Todd not pointed it out to me. (Todd, what about putting new subjects in a (...) (26 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)

OK, so I won't post a 'me to' message to L-Cad, but I can post one here. So, FWIW I think moving to Lugnet would be an excellent idea. I'm all for it! (here's an out right commitment for you Todd!) I get it now... the list server was down. Makes (...) (26 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)

I can think of one drawback for moving to lugnet - you must have some sort of web access to subscribe to lugnet, while with l-cad you can subscribe with only an e-mail address and information on how to subscribe emailed to you by someone else. (...) (26 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)

(...) In the web interface, could your really-cool thread-tree show a dotted line when there's a subject change? Often, the subject header changes sometime after the messages change subject. So a total disconnect would be counter- productive. Steve (26 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)
