No, Lego doesn't do *modern* military.  You won't be seeing tanks and F-16s
until they are totally obsolete, like the Sopwith Camel is, if even then.

Jeff

You're right, thats probably what was meant, and i had forgotten about the
sopwith camel.  Although one thing i would like to know, that was missing
from transcript, was exactly who said the comment?  Was it actually someone
from LD?

I don't know who asked the question, but LD din't need to answer, the entire
audience did it for them.

It was Brad. All otherwise unattributed comments (1) were his. However Jeff
is right, the rest of the room shouted it out at pretty much the same time.
It was pretty funny.

1 - if it just said "A:" rather than say "Jake:" before the remark... I'll
try to remember to post that as a reminder next time should it be me that
transcribes again.

Just wanted to mention that i greatly appreciate your transcribing the
remarks, as some other have mentioned.  It kept people like me who had no
means of getting to the brickfest in the loop. I really just needed to
comment on the whole lego military issue, since it is a touchy subject.  And
as you mentioned in you other post to this thread, any discussion with lego
directly might not be very fruitful, so i was hoping to get some comments
from other AFOLs.  Maybe this discussion should move to a different group...
