Tim, Your article is well written and will hopefully quell some of the negative noise being made out there. Thank you for including LDMC, also. James and I are doing what we can to make LDMC a force to be reckoned with. Your help has been (...) (23 years ago, 2-May-01, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.cad)

HeeHeee!

Tim, I think it would be a Good Thing to make this a news item on the ldraw.org homepage. And then park it permanently on ldraw.org somewhere (like in an ldraw.org FAQ).
