But, conversely, would the occasional mention of something un-LEGO cause you

Only if they were mentioned in disparaging terms;-)  All seriousness aside, of
course I wouldn't care if clones were mentioned *in passing*.  What I wouldn't
want to see is a catering to clones-- set reviews, etc.

And that's definitely NOT in the concept.

Being an AFOL is a very unique experience-- if TLC didn't exist, I doubt I'd be
playing with any of the clone brands out there.

That's what I was saying.

Being an AFOL is being in a state of total immersion in *LEGO*.

OUCH...doesn't that hurt?

Of course I could add clones to my collection, but I don't.  Why?  What if they
were even on par with LEGO?  I would still hesitate.  Maybe some of this
branding TLC is so concerned about is rubbing off on me!  Perhaps I can consult
Dave! for a little deprogramming session, since it appears that he is
impervious to the marketing effects of TLC:-)

Would you play with Mega Bloks for a flying bicycle?

8?D
