Oh, I'm not referring to any actions specifically-- I'm following what appears to be your stance to its absolutist conclusions to test the validity of your claim. Your claim (...)

(...) Never said it was an ideal scenario. I was just pointing out what is rather than what might be preferred. And the way it is right now is that the intellectual property for the name "BrickFest" is held by AMH Productions, who holds all the (...)

It sounds like there's a discrepancy of tense... my comments in this thread have all been aimed at the past tense, why should an attendee of an event want to know information about what they've just attended.
