...sounds like a great idea. Perhaps an idea to keep the signal to noise ratio high is to
require follow-ups go to a diff group (similar to lugnet.announce) except for certain
people (like Brad). Perhaps create lego.followup to direct most follow-ups and whenever a
group consensus is reached or the point is me-to'd to death, someone can manually post it
back to 'lego.whatever'.
...By keeping the follow ups in the lego.* group normally the guys at LEGO will know where
to look for most replies and continuing thoughts if they really want to see what kind of
response it gets.
...just a thought :-)
...you can go back to ignoring me now...
