(...) I for one appreciated your web sight! You have the details in the e-mail I sent you. And I do believe that we agree about should be done with those who ‘assume’ to know trademark law or copyright infringement, and thus act upon their (...) (24 years ago, 30-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Brian, Let's look at your posts: (URL) what I can see, it got a double highlight and 14 messages. Your other post also got double highlights: (URL) and had 24 messages. If you ask around, that is very good. So what seems to be the problem ... (...) (24 years ago, 30-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Thanks for asking! I didn't have any complaints about the house I posted. I was very happy with that. What I wasn't happy about was when I posted my actual website. I know there was positive feedback 'posted' on Lugnet, but Lugnet doesn't (...) (24 years ago, 30-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)

Nathan Thanks for the support. Brian and I both really appreciate it. It was just very disappointing in my mind how TLC attempted to handle the whole thing when it just wasn't that big of a deal.
