No grudges, I just prefer to be spoken with rather than spoken to. I'm certain
that others around here would prefer that as well.

I have positive view about Larry most of the time. Sometimes he manages to come
across as brusque when it's not needed. Quite the same way that I come across as
a goofball with some of my replies.
I do look at what he says, and I agree with much of it, but I certainly don't
have to agree that he is 'right' anymore than anyone else is 'right'. He has
some valid points. That is all.

Well, I can't say I totally agree with you here, because I do my posting via the
web. It's far more convenient, and my newsreader has other-Non Lego uses these
days specifically to keep the spam to a minimum. Whatever mechanisms the Admins
feel are needed to keep LUGNET secure are fine by me.
