  Re: Was M*ndroid ToSsable from Lugnet? When?
 
(...) M*ndroid was probably a much clearer case. Matthew Moulton's case is a lot fuzzier, I think. Maybe tomorrow he wakes up and realizes he was having a bad day, and grows up, and apologizes, and stops posting off-topic in .space. Or maybe not. I (...)

  Was M*ndroid ToSsable from Lugnet? When?
 
I came on the LEGO scene too late to "enjoy" (sic) the subject contributor's "contributions" (sic) to RTL. My question is this, to people that remember his posts, were they, in and of themselves, sufficient to get him ToSsed from Lugnet, were he to (...) (24 years ago, 17-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.terms)

I read this as "You have 2-3 weeks before I sell this stuff elsewhere. Get it while you can." Not as an auction announcement. The site does list sets (at least Technic sets) for sale at a specific price. I see this as for-sale. (...) (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.terms)
