Well, Brian, I think people (if they were not lawyers) were just trying to
warn you, since people *have* been contacted by the LEGO Company about their
URLs. e.g. Suzanne Rich had to move her old site to a new location (now
www.baseplate.com).
And, if you *were* contacted by TLC itself, then it wasn't a flame - but an
actual legal issue.
That's not to say, however, that your site is any less cool. ;-) I like what
I've seen so far. I haven't had enough time to thoroughly check it out
(there are so many things!), but I liked what I saw so far.

The purpose of them is to help people see important or really cool posts.
For example, posts by Todd regarding important issues, or posts by Brad
Justus are often highlighted, plus (more often) posts about events or really
cool MOCs. The top 10 appear on the front page, for easy access - and you
can see more posts if you click on the "more top stories..." link.
Highlighting is not neccessarily a measure of your acceptance, but it's
certainly nice to know that people think your post is important.
