There are specific guidelines set up on the newsgroups to keep things
orderly. If people posted anywhere they liked, things would get rather messy
and confusing. When I was a newbie, I posted an auction announcement to
.space, and people jumped on me for it. At first, I was defensive, but
afterward I realized that it just keeps things orderly, otherwise we'd have
all sorts of auction announcements etc. flying all over the place.

No, it doesn't. While I appreciate what they've done for us, I don't think
it's too much to expect them to follow the same rules that everyone else
here follows.

Now, waitaminit. No one has said they can't post this, they've just asked
that it be posted in the proper place, just like everyone else. Asking for
LD to follow the rules isn't sh*tting on them.

Then why are you so upset? If you really feel that they are so trivial, then
why go and post this flailing diatribe? Perhaps you feel they're more than
just toys?

Perhaps you should do the same. Or maybe your caps lock key is just broken
and only capitalizes certain words.

Hmmm, what's your name? Doesn't the TOU say you should identify yourself in
order to post?

No, love of LEGO bricks are why we are here. I don't come to LUGNet to
discuss why I love the corporation, I come here to discuss why I love the
bricks.
I think perhaps you've gotten a little too excited about all this. It was a
very nice thing for LD to do, but it's not the Second Coming.
