In my opinion this makes Lugnet one of the great sites (similar to Yahoo and Google) and I'm by no means unique in my opinion. Lugnet's greatest (...)

I enjoy coming to this website not just because of its content but also because I don't have to wait five minutes for a page to load unlike the LEGO site. (...) Again you are right. (...)

It's pretty easy to keep small images down to 1 or 2 KB each (or even less) if care is taken. Many of the LUGNET toolbar icons (...)
