Well said Dave K. Well said...
I might also add that I would rather NOT see LEGO involved in any central
website for this community. This is because LEGO would thn have some power over
content, which can't be a good thing because they already have their own website
to advertise. I'd rather have LEGO as a paying advertiser, if they want to, and
a contribution like Jake does here, which is limited to some announcements and
replying to any message he wants. That gives us AFOL total freedom over the
content of our messages and it also gives us autorithy to criticize plenty, even
if we mostly talk about how great LEGO is :-)
