You can’t assume that because he has posted on LUGNET a few times, he is
reading or aware of anything that is going on on LUGNET. The only real way to
know if someone is a regular reader is if that person posts often each week.
Sure, there are regular lurkers, but you have no tangible way to verify that.
Further, merely because LUGNET is a public forum in no way means that the entire
world is privy to what is said in it.
Even Compartmentalized Dorks [1] who only subscribe to a particular NG on
LUGNET can be clueless as to what is going on on LUGNET.

| (...) OK. I thought I could assume people would read my question in the context of the current thread, but I guess that was a rash assumption. So please explain how that difference applies in this particular case? ROSCO (18 years ago, 15-Feb-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
