As someone who had Lugnet as his home page for the last five years, I want to
thank you and Todd for all the hard (and excelent) work you've done with Lugnet.
Without Lugnet my Internet and Lego experience wouldn't have been nearly as
enjoyable.
I wish you best of luck with all of your new endevours.
