it is a respect for the brand issue.  LEGO isn't assuming ownership
of our unofficial LDraw universe (note - the word LCAD is obsolete - read my
brand building rant on the site) ;-).

  Tim, you stinker!  How can I have my "LCad Apocrypha" website if there's
no LCAD anymore!?!  I certainly shouldn't use "LDraw Apocrypha" since that
implies some sort of endorsement...

You know we did it just to upset your site ;-)

Actually, its someting Steve and I chatted about for some time.  I started
considering this, and discussed it with him (IIRC, but I forget who really
brought it up, him or me) when someone posted their long email with confusions
about LDraw.  The one thing was - they tried to access www.lcad.org, thinking it
was the official site.

Its an identity thing, honest ;-)

You can certainly change the site title to LDraw Apocrypha if you want, the
disclaimer at the top of your page is sufficient, IMO.  I see it the same as
people naming 'LDraw' on their pages of LDrawn creations.

(...) Figures--I spent all last week debunking conspiracy myths, and it turns out I'm the victim of one! I'll be watching you... Out of curiosity, was it *ever* "officially" called LCad? Dave! (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
