Mark, If you got a "smack on the hand" by Todd, don't worry about it. We all get smacked occasionally. He is most often correct. We should
stay focused, as hard as it sometimes is. If I sometimes go off on a tangent (as I sometimes do), I always try to remember to relate the
topic to LEGO before finishing the post. If I can't relate it to anything in LEGO, then I shouldn't be posting it there. That's why
Adventure shows are not OK, but minifigs with Boobs are OK. (Go figure!)
But if you want to go off on any general tangent, then you should be posting it to RTL. The whole reason for having LUGNET is to get away
from the mayhem and nastiness that often occurs in RTL. I guess that RTL is sort of a mature refuge for LEGO topics. And occasionally we
get reminded of that by Todd (and others). And yeah we all get into a huff when that occurs. But you get over it.
Stay the course....
