Just a clarification...  "Going through LUGNET" doesn't necessarily mean
not getting the group/list via e-mail.  All LUGNET groups (including
lugnet.robotics) are subscribable (directly or as digests) via email...

Here's the big picture...

In other words, the lego-robotics@crynwr.com mailing list simply happens to
be a list-member of the lugnet.robotics@lugnet.com mailing list, and vice-
versa for the two-way message exchange.

I, too, subscribe to this list via e-mail, rather than going through LUGnet. It just seems easier to me. I much appreciate the notices of special offers (although the Shuttle/Zany Brainy thread got a little repetitive). And I read all the posts (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
