that Huw decided to remove his excellent preview scans and that Kevin has • to
impose a ridiculous restriction against post 1997 set instructions on his
web site. Lego ignores the AFOL community for decades, and now that they
finally decide to start getting with it I suppose we all have to roll over
and play dead.

The pre-1997 (or more specifically not in current retail assortment)
restriction on my website is not rediculous and definately _NOT_ imposed on
me.  I have said this a thousand times privately and publicly.  When I • started
the site, outside of any official guidance from TLC (and I don't want any) • I
made certain decisions regarding content and format.  Those decisions were
based on common sense and were consistent with my desire to make a "good • faith
effort" to not  adversely affect TLC's interests.  In fact the result has • been
benificial for everyone involved.

You might even read Brad's latest post as permission to publish current
instruction scans.  I'm surprised that everyone missed that significant • point.
Regardless, it is still my policy to not publish scans of sets in the • current
retail assortment, so I'm the "bad guy" on this issue, not TLC.


That's fine. My point was that it's a shame there has to be any restriction
at all. Why doesn't Lego get serious about supporting the AFOL Internet
community and tell you that it's OK to post scans of current sets, instead
of this hit and miss groping around in the dark stuff?
