They don't say they can't be, either.
I'm not being facetious. The point of unsolicited (or
barely solicited) email advertisements (spam) is to drum
up business. You're only doing them a favor by passing
them along. By passing the advertisement on to the
rest of the mindstorm community that wasn't
registered correctly with LEGO (Larry as case in point -
registered but forgot to update his email address when
it changed), Chris and Paul did LEGO's job for them - and,
as a result, they sold more stuff.
I don't think that sale information is a LEGO leak, any more
than posting the Shop At Home weekly specials are.
Now, if you have to pay to be a member of a club to take
advantage of a certain special, and someone circulates
a club membership ID along with news of the special, I
could see that as being way bad. But that's not the case
here, or anything like that, right?
