Kelly, many people did think about this and explained so in their posts. I
would ask the same thing - what does being a cancer survivor and Lego have to do
with each other? I think it's an off-topic post, or maybe it deserves its own
web site if whatever group in question feels it is important enough and needed
to serve that group. Maybe the question should be, why shouldn't there be an
independent GLBTI? Lego web site?
