Good to hear from you on this one, and bravo for remembering James' mother.
If we formed a new group _and_ gatewayed L-cad to it, she would continue to
receive messages as usual.  Those who absolutely are unable or unwilling to
move over could still post via l-cad, though I would hope that would be a
small minority (in cases where l-cad goes down, we would lose them for a
while).

What is your opinion of how the group(s) should be structured?

Speaking of James, I would hope that when Lugnet neighborhoods become a
reality, we could erect a memorial at the center of the ldraw neighborhood.
While I learned of Ldraw after his passing, I continue to be amazed at the
spirit he engendered among the people here.

(...) I haven't really given it any thought. I am flexible though, and I have confidence in Todd's judgement on how to do it. As long as I can get to it, I am happy. (...) That is a cool idea. And I am sure the Jessiman family would appreciate it. (...) (28 years ago, 23-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)
