I would hope that Jeroen see these posts not as anger, but as frustration, and takes them with a grain of salt. But YES, more TLGers need to be aware of this in one way or another. I think it MAY be time for a new newgroup, as dear-lego may not cut (...) (26 years ago, 19-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
