Great stuff! Somewhere buried under piles and piles of stuff, I think I
have some old U.S. Brick Kicks magazines... I might be able to help with
some of the missing holes.
BTW, I just saw another post you made that contained the site's name, and
it reminded me that I was going to ask...
What does the name LUGMAG mean/suggest/stand-for? Is it an acronym?
When I see the name, I immediately think "LEGO User(s) Group Magazine," but
that doesn't really make any sense because it's about LEGO magazines and the
site isn't the home base of a LUG.

It will be a Lug, want i am planning is a group of people who gives copys
of the scans online. It's in the pipeline, it takes one to start the
process, which is me, and i now have a lot of people who are intested in
putting in their share, Eg, Holland, Germany, US etc..
If there is any people who wish to help the website let me know

OK, so does LUGMAG actually stand for something (i.e., does it have an
acronymic expansion)?
The reason I'm still curious is, I'm concerned that some of the names I've
seen coined recently seem they could potentially confuse/muddy the meaning
of LUG. An LUG or LEGO User(s) Group is a group of people who use LEGO and
get together periodically to build and talk and socialize and that sort of
thing. BayLUG (_B_ay _A_rea _L_EGO _U_sers _G_roup) was the first LUG, and
I think NELUG (_N_ew _E_ngland _L_EGO _U_sers _G_roup) was the second.
I guess I'm also confused by names like BrickLUG as in "BrickLUG Chat" in
that I'm stuck trying to figure out what "Brick LEGO Users Group" means.
Eric Kingsley's LUGMAP, for example -- that name makes perfect sense -- it
stands for _L_EGO _U_sers _G_roup _M_ap and shows the LUGs[1] on a clickable
world map:
http://www.lugnet.com/map/
Do you see how the use of "LUG" is confusing when it breaks the long-standing
tradition of being a group based on region?
I'm just wondering, did you consider names like BrickMag(s) or BrickZine(s)
and those weren't available?
--Todd
[1] and LTC's -- LTC's are also LEGO user(s) groups, just not "LUG"s by name.
