  Re: NXT newsgroup needed
 
(...) What's the current consensus on this? Personally, I'm feeling like we should add a group, and do it now, as people are beginning to receive their sets. But I don't use this area frequently. Would we have a volunteer for curator of this new (...) (18 years ago, 3-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  RE: NXT newsgroup needed
 
I like the idea of the newsgroups staying together -- I mean having one newsgroup for RCX and NXT stuff. I read all the information.

  Re: NXT newsgroup needed

  Re: NXT newsgroup needed
 
(...) I started this thread, so obviously my vote is for creating a separate NXT group. In other posts some people indicated they'd like all discussions grouped together so they're easier to see in news reading software. It's been my habit to post (...)

  Re: NXT newsgroup needed
 
(...) Suz, I wouldn't worry too much about this - once NXT becomes widely available, a separate group will more than have its justification. You'll always find newcomer questions in such groups, as happens on all forums or lists, and the (...) (18 years ago, 5-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)
