> 21:23 < kenny> what was the original goal of scotlug when it was launched?
> 21:23 < bagpuss_thecat> Neil_: looks good, and I like the idea
> 21:24 < windy> Why dont you announce this as the topic of January's debate and open

> 21:25 < bagpuss_thecat> windy: sounds good
> 21:25 < bagpuss_thecat> kenny: signed up to the list?
> 21:25 < kenny> i dont think it would be like that bagpuss_thecat. but for the
