This all sounds great, I just have one question: (...) So who gets posting privileges to this one? Must a TLC employee/r contact you to get posting privileges...? Or are the privileges given to everyone but it should be understood that the average (...) (24 years ago, 12-Apr-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

  Re: New newsgroups for LEGO Direct and the LEGO Company
 
(...) I would love to see a lugnet.lego.legal in the future, but it'll have to depend on TLC Legal actually being willing to participate. :) (...)
