There are two #5's up there, eh? :o) By the second #5, I really meant the lugnet.starwars group in particular, although other people may have discovered other areas of related concern, disgust, or disappointment.

(...) I don't think TLG has changed much since then. I also think TLG was blowing some smoke, and Carsten gave up too easily. I'm pretty sure Carsten could have made some cosmetic changes to satisfy TLG. Steve (25 years ago, 15-Aug-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
