But if someone from TLC is willing and able to answer a question in the
theme areas in an official capacity, why not let them? If they are only
going to be allowed to post in the lugnet.lego hierarchy, we definitely
need to keep the chatter down so that it is easy to find their posts. If
an when someone from TLC is willing to post about the train summit for
example, I want to know about it. I'd rather see that in lugnet.trains,
but if not, I don't want to have to wade through bunches of
"Juniorization Sucks" posts just to find the real tidbit. Now I realize
you are on the track of limiting posting by non-LEGO employees to the
lugnet.lego groups, and this is a good thing (even if they aren't
restricted to where they can post).
I'm just trying to understand what is bad about TLC responding in an
official way to any post anywhere on the system.
