I'm not a paying member. The quote is exact. It just demonstrates the ignorance
of those making the decisions. As a part time bottom of the barrel nothing I
still signed a non-disclosure agreement at the time of hire. They are parinoid
latly due to things being leaked. However there's nothing in my posts that
didn't come from internet sources. However when it was posted that I was an
employee the flag went up and that was that. I was told it came straight from
the legal dept.
As for lawsuits, If I have any inside information it is that Lego managment
really isn't that bright. My last manager (who also just got fired) tried to
fire me because I was called away on military duty.
