(...) Yup, exactly, and it's extremely easy to post a link to the official LEGO response just about anywhere. It happens all the time now with web stuff, and it happens often in the Italian local groups that someone there will post a link to an (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) I have to ask, so what? We want to buy their product, and as long as the groups aren't saturated with marketing (which they aren't), I see no problem. (...) Again...your point is?
