Todd, please delete the above message.
I think everyone should be assigned a password to post here so you couldn't
impersonate another person.

Dan:

Just so you know, what you just did is grounds for removal.  Please do not
ever do it again, even to make a point.  Obviously you meant well but this
is an extremely important rule not to violate.

To repeat from the discussion group T&C,

   http://www.lugnet.com/admin/terms/

  "[...]
   It is a condition of your use of the discussion groups that you do not:
   [...]
      2.  Falsely present yourself as a representative, employee, or
          official of a LEGO company or of LUGNET through the accidental or
          deliberate use of trademarks or servicemarks in your identity or
          through misleading or confusing statements in your postings.

      3.  Post anonymously or post any message in which the 'From:' header
          is not an e-mail address under your control.  (Spamblocks are OK,
          however, so long as it is possible for a reasonably intelligent
          human to reconstruct your e-mail address using clearly documented
          instructions, which you must include in each such message.)
   [...]"

Dan, I cancelled your post as you requested.

And incidentally, my logs show that the message you forged was posted from
the host hnl01-036.gst.aloha.net and that the host used when the name Dan
Jezek signed up was hnl05-209.gst.aloha.net.

Thanks. I knew what I was doing when posting the message and just thought you should know it can be done (which you probably do).
