(...) theme (...) I'm certainly confused. A few months ago people were citing the Cluetrain Manifesto and begging for LEGO to talk to us. Now we want to box them into one little space on LUGNET because all LEGO wants is (gasp!) money. I certainly (...) (24 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) If you really care about a response, you can post it in lugnet.lego.direct. Lugnet.dear-lego has always been for letters you don't really expect/want/need an answer to. It predates LEGO's presence on Lugnet by... well, shoot, a couple years, (...) (24 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) That's a curious way of phrasing it. I'll assume you just chose poorly. But to clarify, this wasn't a suggestion I made, or in any way my idea- it took me as much by surprise as everyone else. I just happen to think it was a *good* idea. So, (...) (24 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) John, I never implied or insinuated that it was evil or that there was anything wrong with it. It's simply a fact that's worth being aware of. Ah, for the good old days online back in 1994 when life as a fan was so simple, and the community (...) (24 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) Sorry Todd, but you seem to say that in a negative tone and I don't see a reason for that! We all know that LEGO is a company and therefor wants to make money [1]. But what's wrong with that? Remember that LU(gnet) is a place for LEGO USERS so (...) (24 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.lego.direct)
