to the brass tacks, I basically think that it is rude to use "Brickfest" out
of context to the 2 events that have actually occured, when noone to my
knowledge has asked permission to use it. Maybe you don't need to, maybe you
do. Just because I *can* take 2 newspapers from a newspaper machine, doesn't
mean that I *should*. If you try to look at it that way, you may see what I
mean.

Do you really have THAT low of an opinion of those of us discussing this
topic. We're theives now? Come on, Richard.

Whoa! Let's all stay calm. I don't read what Richard said that way at all.
Rather I think it was a comment to my comment advocating that they put a TM
on it right away... My take is that he's saying he doesn't think that in
THIS community there is as big a worry as in some others... IOW, it was a
compliment.

It seems that many of the posts I have seen from people here have had more
to do with the sour grapes of not being able to attend multiple events if
they are run concurrently. TOUGH! *I* can't attend multiple events. I can't
afford it. I can't travel very far with my young children. What right does
anyone have to begrudge ME the right to try to arrange and hold an event
closer to me? NONE. PERIOD.

No one *is*, either. I just don't think it prudent to do it concurrently or
even within the same month if it is to be a big thing.

Bottom line: I've begun the planning stages of a West Coast event via
e-mail, and those plans will remain with the organizers until any official
announcements are decided upon. I am currently looking for volunteers to aid
in planning and durig the event. If you are someone who would be willing to
help with ANY part of the event, please e-mail me. I have stepped up to the
plate here. Any further debate of the issues is, of course, your right to
participate in. But I will not put much creadence in any debate/discussion
by anyone not willing to also put their time and effort where their mouths >are.

Right on. Do the work?... make the decisions, that's what it says in my book.

(...) <snip> Uhhmmm... poor choice of metaphor on my part. Ok, try this one. Uniformed people calling Lego brick "Legos" or other building brick clones "Lego." I can hear the groans now... sorry. Really. Rich -- Have Fun! C-Ya! Legoman34 ***** (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)
