Why are all these kinds posts in lugnet.lego.direct? Does anyone expect
Lego Direct to comment here? (or in similar posts).

Of the groups that I follow, and I only follow a few (.trains,
.trains.org, .cad.mlcad, and .cad.dev.mac), this is one of the most off
topic groups.

I remember when the the LUGNET admins asked us to keep the chatter down,
but it seems like it is still too noisy in lugnet.lego.direct.
