No, as I said before, out of simple disinterest. If I build a copy of
something someone else built, what is the point of discussing it? What purpose
could discussing it possibly serve? What would I gain as the poster, and what
would people reading my post gain as readers? Nothing! They're not seeing a
new model, they aren't seeing new building techniques, etc etc etc.

But let's say I don't want your set. I don't want to buy the pieces you've
collected. I want to use the pieces I already have to build my own copy.
You're saying you'd be upset about that?
Do you realise that according to Larry, at least two other members of the Guild
of Bricksmiths disagree with you on that point?
