People do talk faster than I can type. (1) But in some cases I got what was
said word for word.
This is one of those cases (2). You could sort of tell that Brad was semi
expecting the question and had a snap answer ready to go. (the "maybe" in
answer to "are you going to announce something" was another one) which I
repeated verbatim, right down to the deliberate use of don't instead of doesn't.
It got a laugh, and the questions rolled on.
Maybe next year the questioner who asks this canonical(3) question will have
to phrase it more carefully, I for one would dearly love to dig deeply into
the whole no guns, muskets and pistols, machine guns on the sopwith etc.
with a LEGO person but suspect it would not be a fruitful discussion, this
is an area where you probably won't get a straight answer.
1 - I know, I know, it's hard to believe, but it's true.
2 - for the answer anyway, someone was asking me a question so I missed who
the questioner was and what the start of the question was, some people
really mumbled! Shame on them!
3 - and you KNOW it's canonical, it always does get asked.
