Thank you Todd,
This has nothing to do with the exchange between Larry and Ken, but since I
wanted to comment on your last paragraph I see no better place to post. As a
member I appreciate you stating that a "feeling" is valid, and that it is
equally applied to all the members, admiration for building half a bridge.
Funny, this is the forth time I have had this conversation today.... (I may be
Lego obsessed?)
To any reader that is offended by a bit of optimism, please continue no further,
and if you are looking for sarcasm, look up some of my rtl posts. And yes,
before you feel the need to inform me, I am well aware I am a tree hugger (or
insert other terms for hippy here).
Many of us that really do appreciate what Lugnet provides.
My appreciation is here.
I appreciate the sort of sentiment that was just conveyed by Todd, and the
support I see provided by others be it MOC advice, event planning, etc.
Lugnet has provided me the luxury of connecting with people that have had a huge
impact on my life outside of the realm of building as well as with in.
I feel Lugnet owes me nothing, the Lego company owes me nothing, and that same
sentiment goes for the people that work so hard behind the scenes and in front
of the public scrutiny for Lugnet, Events, etc. This is not their job, they
don't get paid for it and are usually doing to for the same passions that
brought us here, the love of building, collecting and sharing said passion.
It is easy to take what we have been given out of a small donation, good faith
and generosity for granted, to abuse it, to complain about it, and to beat it
into the ground until it is no longer the recognizable thing it once was. I
personally don't want to do that. I hope there are enough members that feel the
same.
Do I see room for improvements? Without a doubt. As the community grows, it is only fair to assume Lugnet must as well. I personally don't see it as jumping the shark, but a few growing pains along the way. Do I agree 100% with those step, no at all, but it is not my place to decide. That may be consider naive by most, and maybe I am truly jaded, but I know this hobby would have never be the same thing to me without Lugnet's assistance.
I know I am not the only one that has felt that impact.
This post is not about brown nosing, flag waving, or card carrying devotion. It
is about calling a spade a spade.
Pleased member, active fan, and freak,
