BTW, I just changed that passage from "...which is not believed to

sponsorship or endorsement..." (i.e., to remove the "not believed to"

endorsement of LUGNET, that is about as certain as it gets.

OK. Let us be 100% clear on this, are you saying that by gifting you this
money & by posting here, Brad/TLG is _not_ showing that he supports and
approves of what you are doing - and in a small way is _not_ encouraging
you to keep up the good work. By giving the money, assuming you have
accepted it, LUGNET is now _not_ supported (I do not mean just financially),
albeit in a small way, by LEGO?

LUGNET is neither sponsored nor endorsed by The LEGO Company.

Todd, with respect, I do not think you have answered my question? How are you
defining "sponsored" & "endorsed"?
