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)

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)

(...) Hey man, it's 1999, not 1994! :) Is there anyone left on the planet who has e-mail access but who doesn't have web access? Besides, even if there was someone without web access, they could always send a subscription request via e-mail to (...) (26 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Yes. Not to be pedantic, but there are gobs(1) of people that don't have home PCs, but who have email access from behind a firewall at work. In many cases they don't have web access. This may well be because they have access via some weird (...) (26 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)
