Re: Anyone interested in a blog?

["Brian McPherson" <bamcpher@xxxxxxx>]

This is absolutely a bad idea to do. It makes LUG partially responsible for the content that is posted. The Planet RSS
thing that LUG has is about as far as I think we should go to allowing anyone to have user content on LUG.

I do not want to see LUG in trouble as an organization because of someone being reckless; regardless of it being a
member, or just some random student.
