Nothing is said about who can start a thread, only who can follow up to a post.

Oh, dear, I estimated incorrectly. My point still stands at 1 year 3 months-

What in heck are you talking about?
Lugnet is for fans. Lugnet is not a tool for LEGO. If LEGO wants to interact
with fans on Lugnet, great! They can have a whole area unto themselves to do

which Lugnet was started- fans talking to fans.
I would hope you aren't also making a reference to our recent "flogging"
debate, which has no bearing at all on the present conversation.
