Hey, your site is really great. Don't underestimate yourself. And it has the
most concentrated minifig population I've seen around, except for Craig's (and
I'm not sure about that either... I think you might have more *castle*
minifigs).
I could, of course, ref to Craig's site, but I didn't because:
a. He doesn't have 'ny peasants
b. his site is the best, but it would be overwhelming to a newbie... when I
first saw it (some 1.5/two years ago?) I remember being really impressed. I
was also thrown off, tho, by the massive pages and heck of a lot of pictures
(I had a reeeealy slow connexion back then).
c. Making a newbie suddenly aware of the Dark Side before he/she is mature
enough to handle that (;-) can result in extreme side effects (such as going
to Clone brands for cool parts - we don't want that now do we? ;-).

Oki-doke, I'll do that next time!
(I love those counters, don't you? Mine boost my ego soooo much... even though
I know they count every time you revisit the main page, I can't help being
awed by the enormous number (over 2000!)... so when I'm in a rational mood, I
check the side pages. Going by the best and oldest ones (Scar, Royalty) I've
been visited over 450 times! Wow!)

I know! Whaddaya think I did up there?!
(This is a joke of course, Rob, don't take it personally! :-)
All seriousness aside, teasing newbies is mean. (I can't believe I just did it
myself :-) We should only tease the oldies (1) because they know we're just
kidding!
Just like a newbie might be scared if Larry in all his glory would run down
his/her 8-wide train... while John Neal knows it's just fun! (2)
-Shiri
(1) Hey, I think neither one of these (newbie vs. oldie) are offensive but we
need a title too y'now!
(2) That's the best example possible. If you don't relate, read a bit .trains.
Won't hurt you... :-)
