compartmentalised? Sure, but that's a good thing.
dorks? No Way! Geeks, yes, but that's just a fun term, not derogatory.

No, no. It's a place for people to pick and choose what facet of Lego they want
to read about or post to. Much better than trudging thru all those posts on
rtl...And no spam!

constantly...on the threat of being expelled? Disagree on that as well.
Has anybody ever been expelled? I know a few times privileges have been
suspended, until the offender has apoligised/made a commitment to follow the
terms of use. Which is good as well. I know I don't want to read posts in all
caps, no puctuation or peppered with swear words. Nor do I want to see
announcements of sales & auctions where they don't belong.

obvious that posters impression is not a shared one.
