    Discussion on ALL Of The Iron Mechas —Bobby Marinov
   Congratulations to everyone who entered the Iron Mecha Contest. The number and variety of the entries has exceeded my wildest imagination!!! One million thanks to the people who organized this event!!! Due to the fact that my materials are about 600 (...) (19 years ago, 7-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX) !! 
   
        Re: Discussion on ALL Of The Iron Mechas —Michael Dallaston
     How inclusive :). Thanks Bobby, like a lot of the entrants I'm guessing I wasn't really a mecha person before, and probably won't be now to any great extent, but things like these are a good excuse to build outside of one's zone. Btw the link to (...) (19 years ago, 7-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

     (...) I hardly agree with you, things like this are a good excuse to build something new, and a 4-legged mecha no less (quadras have not been too popular lately and its nice to see a whole army of them introduced all at once)!

         Re: Discussion on ALL Of The Iron Mechas —Timothy Gould
     --SNIP-- (...) I meant Michael Dallaston (who wrote the first reply) is also a JLUG member and was jokingly pointing out that maybe we were conspiring in our responses to you. Perhaps the reference was a little too oblique ;) Anyway, thanks again (...) (19 years ago, 7-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
