I guess there's one other kinda cool feature...
Authors can bookmark, trade, or publish the URLs of their submissions. For
example, Terry could include the following on a web page of his:
<A HREF="http://www.lugnet.com/news/ldraw.cgi?lugnet.publish:6">My B-Wing

or if he wanted to link to the threaded discussion instead of directly to
the model itself, he could do:
<A HREF="http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.publish:6">
Discussion of my B-Wing Fighter Model</A>

p.s. Terry, that B-Wing fully shreds! Good show!!
