Yeah, I'm real sorry about that, Eric.

I had no idea I'd get my head bitten off for disagreeing. Isn't that what
newsgroups are for? Discussion of viewpoints?

in their own. Most of the messages I reply to with a yes, but this • time no,
this is my model, and no one else has the right to use it except me.

Actually that's not true. Anyone can copy your designs if they want to. • You
don't have to like it, but that's how it is.

My models
are supposed to inspire creativity (the reason I started my site) not • copying,
LEGO is so versatile, anything can be made, so many different • combinations.
SO

That's too bad. If someone made something using a design of my • own, I'd feel
very flattered. Sometimes I borrow things from other Lugnet-ers, and I
always try to give credit when I do. Beyond that... what's the big deal?
