| I don't want to start a war with one of our star singers from last nite but
I think Scott might be mixing two memories together.
The "even you Brendan" reference was from the early part of Brads talk
before any questions... as I said Brad said in the transcript (and i owe a
better copy, soon, soon..)
"The most important message from LEGO is this: we trust you with our
brand. We trust you to do the right things and not dishonor the brand
Even
Brendan!"
That was before any questions, so it wasn't a comment that was attached to
the "dark" LoTR answer.
Thats my recollection anyway. I wouldn't make too much of it but I did type
that entire transcript in the order it was said...

| Not the first time I have ever mixed up my memories, you are problably right
about the events, heaven knows you were typing like a mad man the whole
time. Thanks for the nod for my singing experience, although I doubt I will
be considered for the next American Idol.
Finally don't assume that just because my first name is Scott that I will
instantly launch into a war with you Larry. :) It was great to see you again!
Scott C.
