First I should appoligize because "Clouds" was not the right word. What I was
trying to say is that I think you feel a closer connection with James and his
legacy than many of us do. That makes what Matthew did more personal to you I
think. I might be wrong but thats what I think. Like I said I think it is
disgusting myself but I probably didn't take it as personally as you and others
may have.

Sure it is but just realize there are probably members of this community who
don't even know who James is and what his contribution was. I am sure there
are plenty of FOLs out there who have never used LDraw and probably have no
desire to. The graphic to these people probably didn't strike as raw a nerve
as it did in some of the rest of us (Although I hope people found it
inappropriate none the less).

Well we can just disagree on that I guess. I think as long as he carries
himself properly on LUGNET and follows LUGNET's TOS then I could care less what
he has on his site.
