I haven't been keeping up with R.T.L. lately... I downloaded the group
the other day and have been trying to wade through the messages for the
past couple of days.. What ever happened to the chats about how to build
something? other building ideas? it seems to be to be 70% auction
postings, 10% I'm looking for this part postings, 10% looking for inst.
postings, 5% FOTW's, 2% spam, 2% drivel [1], and 1% building ideas..
There used to be a lot more conversation on r.t.l than there is now,
which might be why most of us have migrated over here.. or it is because
most of us migrated over to lugnet? have we taken the good chat's with
us?
Either way, I have to thank Todd for hosting this list, and giving us
more than we could have ever gotten with a newsgroup!
Tamy
hoping this stays for a long time!
[1] drivel, Might be of interest to some just not me.
