I would like to politely offer another suggestion for the name of the group
lugnet.vent
I poffer this alternative because it is my opinion (and I am not attempting to
foist my own humble opinion on anyone) that Lugnetters will, at times, need to
yell, scream, and curse about on-topic subjects.
And if you don't like it then I would like to politely suggest a few anatomically
and politically incorrect procreation options.
thank you for your time
