Just to clarify, I don't know how well it comes across in a written
transcript, but at the time he said this, I really wasn't sure whether this
was some sort of admonishment toward me or what. @8^)

OK, I don't remember exactly how I worded this question, but I'm pretty darn
sure I never said I've never said the word 'congruent' in public. I thought
I said something like, "...or is The Brick Testament something LEGO would
approve of because it inspires other builders?"

I really want to find out who these three people are. @8^D

A quote from Mike Rayhawk's website: "The LEGO Company is very vocal in its
stand against promoting violence in its product lines. The swords, rifles,
cannons, lightsabers, death rays, and fatal axe-traps included in the
majority of their sets are intended only for creative and life-affirming play."
I love that. @8^)
It was nice to get a little nod of approval from LEGO that they are not
"against" something like The Brick Testament. Glad we've managed to earn
their trust.
