To highlight a post about someone's hiatus?!?

I think it is a case of why he is leaving that got it
highlighted not so much that he is leaving. Tim was a great
advocate for LUGNET and it is very disturbing that he feels
he has to walk away for a while.

IMO, the problem is that people seem to think the noise is more
important than the content.  To me, the content on LUGNET is the MOCs
and the related building discussion.  Noise is people bickering about
why they can't get along...which leads to posts like Tim's.  I agree
with Rico...the noise really shouldn't get highlighted.  I think there's
a real problem when Tim's post gets 8 spotlights, and an awesome MOC has
a hard time getting 4.
I think people should take a moment to look at what they think LUGNET is
about, and then try to stick to that ideal in their own actions.
Just my .02,

(I realize that *this* post isn't what I think LUGNET should be
about...maybe I should unsubscribe from everything but .build...)
