I don't think r.t.l is on its way out. There are still a lot of
informative posts on r.t.l that never make it to the LUGNET groups. I
am one of those that wishes there would be a way for r.t.l to be hosted
on the LUGNET server because it is hard for me to read r.t.l (I have to
use deja.com to do so). One thing that worries me about the LUGNET
groups is that not enough new people (in comparison to r.t.l) are
joining. Also, a culture and mindset has developed here that, while not
necessarily bad, seems conservative and slightly intolerant of "out
group" ideas and attitudes. Also, the "group think" syndrome seems to
be prevalent on both r.t.l and LUGNET. One example of this is the utter
LACK of support for the "Timmy" minifig. It amazes me that EVERYBODY
hates "Timmy." While I realize that this particular example has become
somewhat of a universal joke on these groups, I worry that there are
other, more serious issues where a minority opinion is drowned by the
consensus of the majority.
