First, if Todd had cropped up in RTL and said "I'm going to make this site,
it'll be great, it'll be an online LEGO community and we can talk about LEGO
all day long" people probably would have told him "Hey, we have RTL, what do
we need that for?".  He didn't do it that way (as far as I know, although he
can correct me if I'm wrong).  He made the site, *then* told people about it.

The first way is closer to what happened.  In November 1997, an announcement
was made to RTL of this: <http://www.lugnet.com/admin/plan/> and then
construction began.  There was some controversy and some disbelief but mostly
it either got ignored or people said "good luck."  I think the fundamental
important thing is simply commitment to a cause -- just keep plowing forward.
