(...) Fair enough. Though that wasn't what was presented to us yesterday, but fine, we'll go with your analysis for now. (...) Partly true.

(...) The Bay Area ABC radio affiliate picked up on it too. In addition to mentioning the "cathedrals to robots", they talked to AF'sOL who admitted spending upwards of $10,000 a year on LEGO. Hmm, that could be any of several people.... :-) Maggie (...) (21 years ago, 10-Aug-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
