I'm just curious to know something...

This original posting has drawn over 50 responses (both pro and con) and yet
this message itself has only 1 spotlight vote for it.  Doesn't any one use
the Highlight/Spotlight system?  Doesn't a posting like this, which gets
people talking and debating issues deserve to be noticed on the front page
of LUGNET?

Any thoughts?

Allen, as I kicked off the initial message that started this thread, I was
wondering about that myself.  But I would feel cheesy if I highlighted my
own message... Thanks for the thought though!    :)

No.  It's off topic for LUGNET, and so does not belong on the front page.  I
refer people with kids to LUGNET all the time, and tell them how great it is
compared to LEGO's official site.

I can't see to many parents w/ 10 year old boys thinking how great LUGNET is
if the see a debate of homosexuality on the front page.

Just my .02

Hi all, Okay I am about to ramble endlessly again. Everything I am about to spout forth is indeed my own uneducated opinion. Feel free to educate me on any points that are off-base (just do it nicely, pretty please)... Also, forgive me if .general (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.general) !
