The beauty of .lego.direct is that it is a place where we *know* TLC (LD) is
listening.  Unfortunately, this NG has become very noisy with so much drivel that
it almost makes it not worth monitoring (from my POV).  And it makes it harder
for LD to monitor as well.  This NG definitely needs shaping up.  I like the idea

Agreed!  I know Todd has requested some input in this regard:

While it's all "not just business", the parts of it that are can
become pretty harmful to the vision for LUGNET in a very short
period of time.
