Yep they do.
Garshk, how do we get around this? Who ever thought this would be so
difficult? The group name criteria should contain:
1) Lego (so as to denote its officialness);
2) Shopping (or the clear idea of shopping, which is looking *and* buying)
3) Home (shopping from there)
4) Service (it is a service)
and not be:
5) too long - max 14 chars each (sub)group
6) too many subgroups, thereby still keeping short the hierarchal path
7) cryptic
lsahswps? Lego Shop at Home Service Weekly Phone Specials? %@*$&#! Just
looking at the subject of this thread makes me shake my head. Mike includes
all the info necessary, and then tacks on the date. I'll have to think about
this some more. *mental belch*
