Todd may have a problem using Brickset data/images but personally I am happy
for him and the other contributers to do so.

Unfortunately Todd and I don't see eye to eye when it comes to Lugnet DB vs
Brickset. I am not sure why -- I think Todd feels threatened by it.
Personally I don't have any animosity towards him or Lugnet, and feel that
competition is healthy and the two sites complelement each other. There's
perhaps more depth at Lugnet, but Brickset is far more current and myself
and my co-administrators work to keep it that way, and enjoy doing so.
I would however be willing to discuss some limited form of merging, or
perhaps the creation of an 'ask.com' like search engine that queries both
sites (and brickshelf for that matter) and correlates the results, that is
independent of Lugnet and Brickset.
If anyone has any ideas or proposals, I'd be glad to hear them.
