Don't feel upset.  LEGO has always done things like this.  You can start
finding catalogs for the following year, even before new themes and sets are
"officially" announced.  I guess LEGO did the same here.  I don't think they
realize that putting a set out on LEGO.com will result in this sort of
activity and were suprised by the result (although they should have known,
given the current status of the Internet and of LUGNET).

I'd say you did what comes naturally for people.  You discovered something
new and different and wanted to talk about it.  What's more, you discovered
it on LEGO.com so you *knew* it legitimate.  I personally don't see any harm
in what you did.
