  Don't send them in envelopes (Re: Bring Your Minifig To Work Day)
 
A heartfelt plea, ---Warning---, I am a technician that has worked on Postal machinery. The Postal service uses machines to sort their mail and would crush and mangle the minifigs. Normal flat letters are okay, but a minifig would catch in the belts (...) (26 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Should RTL be hosted on this server?
 
(...) Agreed. When I first started reading RTL (May 97?), I would read virtually each and every post. And I enjoyed doing so. Now I skip the majority of it, only occasionally parsing a thread to see what it's about. Often, as in the case of the (...) (26 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)
