Todd,
Thanks for the corrections! I own and read a copy of this book and I understood
the details to be different from those published in the book. After reading the
book I assumed that information I had heard from "asking" around at conventions
was wrong and that the book was correct. I am glad you corrected these specific
instances of the book.
Maybe this points out something that you an Susan should spend a few minutes on.
Maybe you can create a page or two defining the history. Or perhaps you might be
willing to let someone in the community interview you and Susan and place the
"history" of LUGNET on the LUGNET web site for others to learn from.
I must admit that I was not aware until recently that I have been visiting
LUGNET since 1997. I found some web files on some CD backups that are downloads
of content from LUGNET dated back to 1997. I have never really known the history
of LUGENT and perhaps others could benefit from learning about the impetus and
details of creating and maintaining the LUGNET site.
I am very appreciative of yours and Susan's efforts. I think all of us have
found a voice and realized that none of us are alone in our choosen hobby. As
someone who kept his collection and LEGO purchases private for many years, I was
encouraged by the nature of this community to be open and less private about my
LEGO habit.
Todd (The other Todd, Todd Thuma).
