Getting into Boston is both difficult and time-consuming for me, especially on a weekday evening. I can only imagine that (...) (26 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

I only posted about 5 posts in this thread of 150(right now), but if that's all that is required for you to form an opinion on someone, I guess that's up to you. I think that possibly you (...)

That's *your* read. As a discussion group, I think it's entirely (...) (26 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

We are not hard people to get ahold of. Our webpage (...) (26 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)
