And then why not just use it the way the company has asked? I honestly don't
see why people put up such a fuss over this. When speaking with friends, or
just in your own head while thinking about this topic I think we can use
whatever terms we want. But in any type of civil conversation or written
communication I don't see it as a very big effort to just call them LEGO bricks,
LEGO products, LEGO sets, LEGO elements etc. And I'm now so used to typing the
company name in all caps that I find it difficult to type it any other way. :)

And perhaps you are right on this one. I reread the charter for .mediawatch and
it seems pretty open as to where these references can appear. However, it does
worry me that we would put too much faith in a blog or a web journal or a
personal website of any kind on something that is already clearly defined
elsewhere and with good reason.
