I thought you were pretty clear...oh well, and I think your idea is a good
one (though I would perhaps  expand it to allow people to pull interesting
quotes from RTL and Lego fan web pages, at least if such quotes could in
some way tie to Lego). I am not interested in large quantities of quotes,
I'm sure there are plenty of places to get such if one wants them (as
manager of several e-mail lists, I don't like to see jokes posted in them
either, for the same reason).

Perhaps the best thing to do is not have the group, and if someone sees
something they REALLY REALLY want to share with a wider audience, they can
post it to lugnet.off-topic.fun.

Just my thoughts.
