As LDraw enthusiasts have discovered (via the lugnet.cad.dat.* hierarchy), having special newsgroups for these sorts of things really makes it nice to follow discussions that pop up as well, since they're simply lower-level nodes in the (...)

I'm talking about no support for attachments (how can we post (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)

That's better for people anyway, because they don't (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)

True, it would increase the noise-to-signal ratio for many, but it would Keep It Simple. Also, I favor follow-ups (...)
