Wholeheartedly agreed.

I think we'll have to ("have to" as in "makes the most sense to") see if
we can get some sort of "rulebook" or "playbook" clarifications from LEGO,
hopefully via LEGO Direct, and use that as the standing ground. One thing
becoming apparent here is that when LEGO wrote up their "Fair Play" documents
they never could have imagined this level of fanatacism and info-seeking.
Heck maybe the reason they never mentioned the retailer catalogs on the
Fair Play page is because they thought fans would never see them in the first
place, or maybe they didn't even want people to know they exited. Either
way, I don't think there's a soul alive who's been following along who
could've predicted the extent of this whole mess.
I agree completely, going forward we need to clarify things as much as
possible, hopefully with concrete examples.

It still (as it always did) comes down mostly to not breaking that law and
not trouncing on the rights of others, but yeah, exactly how that's defined
has been very weel defined.

| For the sake of clarification, I did send an email to Brad today so he could give Big Brother's views on the matter at hand. I didn't send it until 4:30 cst, so I don't expect a response until sometime next week (considering he DOES respond). (25 years ago, 11-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
