  Re: Should RTL be hosted on this server?
 
(...) I think the largest problem would be: Moderation!!! Will you moderate RTL on Lugnet as you moderate Lugnet? What effect would that have on people who read RTL via their Newsgroup reader? Will you block spam on RTL from being viewed on Lugnet, (...) (26 years ago, 29-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Should RTL be hosted on this server?
 
(...) I think confusion like this is one of the best reasons to NOT include r.t.l on LUGNET.
