The only part of LUGNET that has the mandate of opening the lines of
communication between LEGO and it's fans is .lego.*
So here we have the owner of LUGNET wanting to reinforce this, which is not
that far off of a debate about people flogging. And unlike that, Todd can
easily remedy this, so he has.
<sarcasm>
Boo Hoo, LEGO employees have to change email addresses if posting officially
or not. STOP THE WORLD WE WANNA GET OFF!!!
The only reason why Todd would ever want to define lines is because he is
bitter...
</sarcasm>
No, Todd did this because he wants to go through the trouble of improving
LUGNET. If we take a look at recent posts from Todd, I would suspect that he
wants to do some reorganizing, a subject that has been there since the end
of the classic themes and sub-themes hierarchy in LEGO System. Don't forget,
Todd seems like the kind of guy who puts his socks in the drawer in order of
colour. <grin>
