(...) Hmm, I disagree on this point... I'd rather "clog" the newsgroup than "clog" people's email accounts, if that makes sense. Not that I think *either* is a clog. The newsgroup is meant for posting inventories - isn't that what you're doing, (...) (23 years ago, 3-Aug-01, to lugnet.db.inv)

I appreciate hearing back from you. It's nice to get confirmation that the inventory was noticed. I think I prefer getting an e-mail simply because it clogs the newsgroup up less. It also starts an e-mail thread that I use to communicate mistakes, (...) (23 years ago, 3-Aug-01, to lugnet.db.inv)
