Rachel,
Phil Traviss is truly a great guy. He is also relatively new to LUGNET. And he
doesn't post much. But let met tell you something. I would rate him in the top 10
of people who are most knowledgeable about LEGO.
He and I (along with another behind the scenes fellow in Germany - Kurt Richter)
converse about 4 times per week on classic LEGO. I have learned a lot about LEGO
from both Phil (who has an outstanding knowledge about UK LEGO history) and Kurt
(who is very knowledgeable about continental European LEGO history). If ever I
were to write a book about LEGO history, I could not do it alone. It would have to
be in collaboration with both Phil and Kurt (and a few others (Bill, are you
listening?)).
I know a few of you folks think I am a LEGO expert. But I am truly humbled by
these two folks.
......OK, I think my medication is wearing off now, I'm no longer verklempt.
