  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) You are. Although there have been more aussies than just you participating, you've been the chider, that's my read of the thread. (...) Well, no, the main issue is about access to NELUG. As I said, it's no one's business who to let in except (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) What's the diff? Chris (24 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)
 
  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) Well, there's rather less between comment and chide than there is between comment and demand, I guess. I'd say "NELUG may find that their policy may be detrimental in the long run" is a comment, "NELUG are very wrong to not immediately change (...)

  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) That's a good way to put it. I've probably stepped over the line some in this discussion, unfortunately the discussion has become somewhat heated. I think we need to step back a bit, and make sure we're not calling each other names for the (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us)
 
  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) No, that's the *minor* or secondary point. The major point is what NELUG should do, and I continue to assert "none of your (and my) business" is the correct answer. Worldwide membership or no, what really matters is the realistic membership (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)
 
  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) I would. But I wasn't really getting at a technical definition issue. From the perspective of posting to a newsgroup they're all functionally the same. They're just various opinions and regardless of how they're phrased, the NELUG readers will (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)
 
  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) For what it's worth, I do think that you've been annoying about your notes, but no one of them was bad...it's just that you're harping on the issue. :-) (...) Is that true?

  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) Oh, you mean like "let's all join NELUG even though we have no interest in it and don't live anywhere near the US NE, so that we can disrupt the consensus the membership arrived at and change things to suit our opinions of how things ought to (...)

  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) I'm now pretty sure you're right. I have it associated with Allen because he was quoting Marx in one of his standup asides he does in some of his movies. IMDB was no help. Enshuldingen! ++Lar (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)
