| Dear LEGO, I sometimes find it sad that a group which formed through love of your product can show such an ugly side sometimes. I'm speaking in particular about a lot of the negative posts that appear here on Lugnet. I think its sometimes human (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)
