Todd, Here are the snippets from a reply message posted by you, which
clearly describes that posting a message containing URL's to a site full of
with leaked Lego info is OK with T&C, although a not a desired behavior (or
this is what I understand from the below, sorry if I misinterpreted it).

Just another weekend that I don't checked lugnet and just as the last week,
I saw all the turbulence caused by second leak(????) with a big surprise.
I've already browsed through it so I know that you apologized for it, so
it's not my intention to stretch it. All I want is to clearing up a
confusion.

They are from TLC's very own site and Netscape or IE is not a hacking tool
at all (they enabled us to manually enter URLs, right?) and so on, BUT, what
if they are not from www.lego.com?

Selçuk

PS. Please don't answer me something in way that "what a shame, isn't it so
obvious?..". I'm not ranting, I just really want to know. If it was obvious
for me, I would not post this.

(...) Almost... What I said was, "Yes, I believe that would be technically OK with T&C. However,..." (Note the slight fuzziness.) (...) I don't think it breaks the T&C. It may still irk or unsettle TLC, but who knows, and, as Larry so deftly pointed (...) (27 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
