  Re: New vs. Old
 
(...) It's not like that at all. I assure you, most of us don't even realize the ages of the people we talk to in this group. Half of us are under the age of 18 probably. We really don't care about ages here. Or titles for that matter. Like others (...) (21 years ago, 11-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: New vs. Old
 
(...) I certainly hope that is not the case. I have been a reader/poster since the decline of readership from the older newsgroup RTL. I don't know if that classifies me as an 'old-timer' or not compared to some others. Anyway, I don't have a (...) (21 years ago, 11-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

  Re: New vs. Old
 
(...) Well, you are entitled to your opinion. I don't think being a LUGNET© member has anything to do with being an "old timer". There are people who participated way before becoming a member and thus have a higher number. There were those who got (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
