That is really a question for Brad.

True encouragement comes only from within.

Brad Justus made "on behalf of The LEGO Company" a financial donation to
LUGNET. Since I am not psychic, I cannot know whether it is the first or
the last, but I must assume that it is the only. I certainly would _not_
say that LUGNET "is supported" by LEGO. However, I _would_ say that an
employee of LEGO made a financial donation to LUGNET.

Off the top of my head: to sponsor something is to provide significant
financial support and/or responsibility for it (by "significant" I mean a
significant percentage); to endorse something is to make an explicit public
statement of support of it. It would take a written statement of endorsement
from the CEO of LEGO or a member of the executive team before I would even
consider taking such a statement seriously.
