  Re: Should RTL be hosted on this server?
 
(...) This is why I would say don't include RTL, you start to get into issues like this. Besides, if you have to filter messages by non approved posters, what's the point of carrying RTL any ways. Anyone who is approved will probably already be (...) (26 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Should RTL be hosted on this server?
 
(...) Ok, then what happens if somebody who is approved cross posts to rtl and a lugnet group and it propagates out to the web and then someone on the web who is not approved does a reply without modifying the headers, what happens when that article (...)

  Re: Should RTL be hosted on this server?
 
(...) I don't think it would help this as you are still at the mercy of message propagation, remember the messages won't be originating here. (...) Paul Foster (URL) (26 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
 
  Can RTL be turned round? (was Re: Should RTL be hosted on this server?
 
(...) Yes. As would getting it updated. I think we all acknowledge that doing a FAQ is a labor of love, and **I** certainly don't have time, but it is pretty out of date in spots.

  Don't send them in envelopes (Re: Bring Your Minifig To Work Day)

  Re: Should RTL be hosted on this server?

(...) Huhhhh-whooah! You mean I could send my favorite minifig to Star Trek: Insurrection?! Oh, man, he wants to go!!! How about if I indemnify you against loss? --Todd (26 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Bring Your Minifig To Work Day
