    Is LUGNET working? —Thomas Main
   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.

        Re: Is LUGNET working? —Larry Pieniazek
     Good questions. I don't have any answers except to point out that I don't read RTL much either. One more question to ponder, are we posting the "hey, come on over to Lugnet" posts as much as we used to? I haven't done one in a while. (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)

         Re: Is LUGNET working? —Mike Poindexter
     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)

     I think there are too many news groups on LUGNET!
