What on earth are you talking about? What is the LPRV committee? And why does your message have lines that cause me to need to scroll across about three screen widths? Tim (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

It took some time to get the money transfer organized (I'm no paypal member, and other means where simply not acceptable because of the banking fees involved), but Rene of 1000steine.de (...)

(...) The best example by far was the Toy Fair. Larry posted his pictures to .announce and to .lego, giving it only a +1 (since .announce is +1 and .lego is -1).
