Where you said yourself "what we believe" - that tells me you do not know, but
are guessing on what you believe to be true.
And I know full well the spotlight weighting has been going on for some time and
gets changed. I do pay attention thankyouverymuch. I missed the spot where I
said it was a new feature ;)

Hey thanks Lar! I am sure you will keep my thoughts in mind.

I never said what I say should be law. I was only voicing my thoughts, I do not
need any sort of lecture or teaching from you, lol. I have been here long enough
to know how lugnet and Lar work like it was the back of my hand. That is whay I
am not shocked to see TLC get (more of a) smackdown (so to speak) with an
automatic negative rating of any post in the .lego group. But hey, if you are
getting rave reviews then more power to you. I never said I was in the majority
with my thoughts, and I never put any weight on my thoughts.
I thought I was able to voice my thoughts, even if they were a dissapointment in
the actions taken here. Did I do somehting wrong Larry? It is not like I called
you an idiot or anything.

Oh here we go, lol. Funny thing is, when I posted this thread I knew if you
replied you would find a way to bring BL into it (when this has nothgn to do
with BL). I am in no way posting with anything to do with BL, this is my
personal account (I do not even have a non-personal account as I have no reason
to speak for BL in any way outside of BL). Look Lar, you won the battle of the
wills with Dan (some would say thanks to the rather large smear campaign you
started) - let it go... move on already,you won! LOL.

Well, with you thats for sure - I doubt I would even go across the street with
you ;) But there is one of yall that I would and I happen to be friends with.
But really Lar, is this what you have sunk to? Trying to make low-key shots and
dragging BL into this? lol - what a great example you are to all of us. It was a
joke - guess you missed the ";)"
But thanks Larry, you helped make up my mind on a few things with your post.
