I can only speak for myself, but I have signed up and signed off both the
LUG and L-OT several times over the years. It is for no special reason other
than that sometimes I get bored of all the emails or it is of no use for me.
In fact (I know this is a very selfish approach, but please forgive me) I
filter all messages from both LUG or L-OT to go straight into the trashcan
unless I have something I need help with. I've been using Logic since 2.5
and there is really not much I need help with though... That said LUG has
been of great value of resource for me over the years. My point is, if I had
signed off LUG or L-OT it wouldn't have had anything to with the threads
other than that I was bored with all the emails, topics being Logic or
not...
