This hasn't been the case in all the time I've been here. I've seen it happen on
EZBoard-style forums (gah! [1]) where there's a much younger crowd, but not on
LUGNET.
The blabbermouth rating comes around once a year, and its just a fun way to
observe people's patterns over time. Instead of thinking how many times I posted
in the last year, I like tracing number of posts each year for the past several
years (for me, this number has gone way down). It's also interesting to watch
other peoples' patterns in this regard.

Newsgroup suggestions should go in a separate thread, probably in
lugnet.admin.general, or lugnet.admin.nntp. In general, if you want to totally
change the topic, it needs a new thread. If you want to build *off* of someone's
comment, merely change the subject line and leave (was) like you did here.

[1] Said it before, will say it again: LUGNET has the best web-based forum
system I've seen, period. Sure, there's room for improvement, but you can't beat
the way it handles threading.
