    Re: The commonfolk's FAQ —Duane Hess
   (...) Actually, I think it would be good to post an already defined acronym to the main LUGNET page. Sort of an "intro to LEGO". That way new people are aware that there are acronyms and a place where they are defined. The current FAQ page is a (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq)
   
        Re: The commonfolk's FAQ —Shiri Dori
     (...) OK. That's what Eric was suggesting. (...) No no... the reference was not a new *acronym* every week, but a new and humor-oriented entry to the "commonfolk's FAQ", which is more a joke than a real FAQ. I was not even *thinking* of "making up" (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq)
   
        Re: The commonfolk's FAQ —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) Agreed. The idea of posting a FAQ link once a week (if it used some new humourous tidbit so it was a fresh post) to catch the eye of newbies is also good, IMHO. And as far as adding more entries to the commonfolks FAQ... anything to reduce my (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq)
    
         Re: The commonfolk's FAQ —Steve Bliss
     (...) Ha. The way I figure it, Larry would feature prominently in about 50% of any "new humourous tidbit" posted weekly. Steve (23 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq)

     (...) Ahem... not to be mean, but yeah, probably. <grin> -Shiri (23 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq)

        Re: The commonfolk's FAQ —Eric Kingsley
   Crossposted to admin.general (...) <snip> While I can't take credit for Duane's great idea this is even better than what I was thinking. I was thinking just a post with an allready defined Acronym once a week to keep the visability of the page up in (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: The commonfolk's FAQ —Shiri Dori
     Hi Eric! Don't apologize for getting off-track - I was just confused whether you misread my post, or I misread yours. ;-) (...) Wow! I like that. Once it got coded, it would be no extra work to post it "every week" or whatever. I think that *in (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: The commonfolk's FAQ —Kyle D. Jackson
   (...) That's sounds pretty cool. I would go even farther and have a randomly selected acronym appear on any newsgroup page on LUGNET, say at the top or something. It would be just like the taglines that used to appear on BBS's in "The Old Days". By (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Randomly generated acronyms (was: Re: The commonfolk's FAQ) —Shiri Dori
   (...) Yeah.... plus, people wouldn't encounter acronyms directly on the front page anyway! It's the newsgroups where they appear frequently. Still, I'd get kinda annoyed if there was an acronym on every news page. Maybe on the news' front page? (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: Randomly generated acronyms (was: Re: The commonfolk's FAQ) —Kyle D. Jackson
   (...) Or maybe on each parent group page, so that would be 52 places. Personally I only go into about 10 of those, so it wouldn't be so bad. KDJ ___...___ LUGNETer #203, Windsor, Ontario, Canada (23 years ago, 29-Jun-01, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.admin.general)
