Hello!


LUGNET currently has 2,500+ members.  I've seen many times where a post has
gotten on the LUGNET front page with just a single person spotlighting it.
One person spotlights a gay post, and everyone who comes to LUGNET for the
first time could find it logical to conclude that all 2,500+ LUGNET members
are interested in gay topics of discussion.

That's as logical as to conclude from one left-handed murderer that all lefties
are murderers. And who would take the opinion seriously of somebody who comes to
that conclusion?


Bye
Jojo
