If someone feels that a post in a .lego group has relevance to a particular
theme or group (whether it be train or castle or what-have-you), why
shouldn't they cross-post it? If that someone happens to be a LEGO employee
without posting priviledges, why shouldn't they ask for the cross-post?
In this particular case, the discussion that followed was by far more
appropriate to .trains (where can I get parts to build that train shed) or
.dear-lego (please make set x) than it was to lego.direct.
The initial post ('due to interest, we're going to make instructions to that
background you saw in the catalogue') was certainly very relevant to trains
(IMHO).
I understand (and somewhat agree with) the logic of keeping Lego employees
segregated, but I think going this far (interesting train stuff is not
allowed in .trains if a LEGO employee happens to post it) is cutting off our
nose to spite our face.
YMMV.
thanks,
James
