Like many of you, I have started reading rtl less and depend more and more on LUGNET for my Lego news. I also enjoy the sense of community that LUGNET fosters. But I do have some concerns about LUGNET. There seems to be a lot of Lego information (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)

I will tell you what is wrong for me. I can't post easily. The news program rejects my posts because of an incompatibility between Outlook Express and Lugnet. This means that I have things to post, but I won't post them. It is entirely too dificult (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)
