    Re: 1593 box photos! (was: Re: you guys noticed this auction? - Wow!) —Lindsay Frederick Braun
   (...) Maybe re: this set, we can goad John (who posts on LUGnet regularly) to tell us something about it once he has it in hand? That's an amazing set, one I'd surely never seen before. best LFB (23 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.admin.database)
   
        Re: 1593 box photos! (was: Re: you guys noticed this auction? - Wow!) —Dave Lovelace
   (...) John's the king...he got the sealed 6806 and 6807, too, I believe. He would have been able to get it for $1200 or so (about five bucks over my max) were it not for some no-namer who dropped a $2222 bid at the last minute. John's original bid (...)

        Re: 1593 box photos! (was: Re: you guys noticed this auction? - Wow!) —John York
     First I have to apologize to Dave for outbidding him. I hated doing that, but with the rest of my collection nearly complete, I had to get this set. As most of us know how rare this set is, I doubt that we'll ever see another one...with that said I (...)

         Re: Good news for collectors (was Re: 1593 box photos!) —Scott Edward Sanburn
     To All, (...) Well, both Black & Veatch and Cleanweb filtered out this site. What is the summary of this? Secondly, what is on there that would make this site filterable (Keep in mind LUGNET's usage policy, of course!) Scott S. -- Personal Page: (...)

         Re: Good news for collectors (was Re: 1593 box photos!) —Clark Stephens
      Scott, The story is a parody making fun of the collectible market. It states that everything currently manufactured is instantly collectible & gives values for some things, including the lint in your pocket. It also parodies the (...)

         Re: Good news for collectors (was Re: 1593 box photos!) —George Haberberger
     (...) Scott, Theonion is filtered at my workplace, though I don't know what web filter is being used. I imagine it's for the humor, which can be raunchy at times. Somewhat akin to National Lampoon, when it was funny. George (23 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.space)

      (...) You can always go check the site of Senator Dick Armey, who is one of the staunchest proponents of censorware...oh, wait. His site is blocked out by all known filter programs. ;) There's a site devoted to censorware foibles, including a high (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

       Lindsey, (...) Tit for tat. B&V does not block his site. I am sure I can get on it with cleanweb as well. Anyway, I know a few liberals that love censorship as well, like Libermann (SP?), for instance, where I disagree with some of the conservative (...)

           Re: Good news for collectors (was Re: 1593 box photos!) —Lindsay Frederick Braun
       (...) Interesting response. I wasn't trying to be political (thus why I didn't identify Armey by party or state). But I went to Armey because, at one time, he was having problems with censorware blindly blocking him. (Apparently it's been fixed, (...) (23 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
     
          Censoring Unpopular Speech? (Re: Good news for collectors (was Re: 1593 box photos!)) —James Simpson
      (...) This censorship topic reminds me of something that my mom told me about a couple of weeks ago; it seems that she was listening to AM talk radio at some unusual hour, and found a program devoted to cigar enthusiasts - as its often fun to listen (...)

     (...) Whether the warning was mandatory or voluntary, I do not know; assuming it was voluntary, it was a) because of government strong-arming, or b) because of private-interest strong-arming.
