God Bless America. Actually, I don't really see what your nationality has to do
with it!

A URL is a means to access information, emailling you gains the same
information - I don't see that there is much difference. Certainly, many people
would consider emailling them to 200 people as publicly distributing them.

I wouldn't assume silence is acceptance. I'd interpret it as a weary silence
trying not to cause greater ripples in the community.

I think you are quite lucky - LUGNET is specifically not a leak club, and by
using LUGNET to advertise your leak you are on *very* thin ice - by my
understanding of the rules.

Wow, do you mean that I don't have to become an American citizen to be entitled
to my own thoughts and beliefs? ;)

My one line comment was that I didn't see much evidence of wisdom behind your
original post - I still don't!


> P.S.  Do you want the scans?

What makes you so sure that I'm not sitting on a stack of retailer catalogs
going back to 1983? The scans that you are offering are small fry my friend. I
object to the antagonistic nature of your post - if this was a cause worth
rebelling against then I'd be there all the way.

Play well and wait for your 2000 LEGO sets like a good LEGO fan! :)

Cheers,
Richard
