Three to six months from now, I think we'll be seeing total traffic here

response time (no propagation delays around the net).

The lack of propagation delays is one reason why I think people will
be more likely to post here once they show up.  Right now it might
take days for people to see my posts, and sometimes it almost seems
like a waste of time, especially for the lighter, admittedly off-topic
posts.  No problem with that here.

I think the REAL benefit of LUGNET will the the ability to see Mike
Stanley's posts almost instantly.  Admittedly, we'll miss the sense of
anticipation, as in, "I wonder which of Mike Stanley's posts will show
up next."  However, I think Mike can make up for that with sheer volume
of posting ;)

I would imagine lack of propagation will be a boon(e?) for buying and
selling as well, in addition to the separate forums provided
specifically for those types of activities.

Hey, I'm from Boone - North Carolina -  and I buy and sell a lot of
Lego, so I think it's already proven to work.
