Hi Todd,
I am Miguel Agullo, the author of the material that you quote. First of all, let
me apologize for any annoyance his might have caused to you or anyone else. It
is ironic that the lines are in from a part of the book devoted to highlighting
for the reader the most important Lego-related website – starting with Lugnet.
I've also let Syngress know about it to see if they can offer any help. I don't intend to shift the blame, but our collective desire and drive to put the book together inside a tight schedule could very well be part of the cause of this misinformation. While the book went through very sage eyes before it hit the streets (thanks again, Lars!); in retrospect, we should have let the owners of the websites mentioned review the material prior to publishing.
(In that sense, while Syngress' methods might not be foolproof, they have
managed to put out a, IMHO, fairly decent collection of Lego books in a
relatively short time.)
Finally, I would like to offer a bit more of insight into what I think was my
biggest error. It seems like that, apart from wishing to provide a more precise
general information about the relations ships between Lego, MIT and Lugnet, your
concerns lie in the following sentence:
“LUGNET is also the result of this collaboration, albeit an unofficial one,
between LEGO and MIT.”
To provide some context, this sentence is part of a “call-out” that adds color
to the main body of text. What I was striving to convey was not that Lugnet is
inferior or a derivative of MITO and/or TLC, but rather that it is an
organization important enough to be in fluent communication with such
prestigious institutions.
It looks like in this instance, I have failed terribly as a writer. Maybe
Syngress should look for someone else next time around :o)
Once again, please accept my apologies and do not hesitate to contact me
regarding this or an other matter.
Additionally, thank you very much for all your efforts.
Sincerely,
Miguel Agullo
