Yeah, I think we got y'all's point. But I think the real point is: legalities
aside, TLC didn't want that material distributed around. Just because one is
*able* to get something on this side of a firewall doesn't necessarily mean one
*should*. The whole "it's fair game out there on the 'net" is an RTL attitude;
discretion, tact, maturity, and respect are LUGNET attitudes.
TLC asked us not to do something. Maybe they think they have a legal brick to
stand on-- whether they do or not is irrelevant. Instead of crying out that our
civil liberties are being violated, let's just *willingly* abide. It's not
really that big a deal, IMHO.

How, exactly, would you suggest they do that? Isn't the mere presence of a TLC
representative like Brad participating in our little forum an acknowledgment of
AFOLs?

There is no bizarre devotion to TLC, but to its product. I think the thinking
is that ingratiating oneself to the company is a better way to be acknowledged
by them rather than ranting and complaining.
I'm thinking this is a watershed time for AFOLs. Let's rejoice and be
optimistic, instead of being Humbugs-- at least it's more fun.
