Well, let's get something straight here first:
1. TLC's policy about vendor/retailer catalogs is only half of the issue.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that something known as a
"retailer catalog" (which consumers almost *never* see) is not intended
for consumers ever to see.
2. Posting scans of portions of a retailer catalog -- including major leaks
about upcoming product lines and details -- *before* those product lines
have been released officially -- is the other half of the issue.
Those are two separate things.
We haven't heard from TLC conclusively on #1, but like I said, it doesn't
take a genius to figure out that it's probably not really a good idea. On
top of that, if Suzanne says is something like that is wrong, I can be sure
(without any doubt whatsoever in my mind) that it's wrong.

OK, I just dug that up,
http://www.lugnet.com/admin/database/?n=52
and, Hmmm, yes, very good point; we should be extra cautious here, in
retrospect.
Selçuk, to the best of your knowledge, are there photos of any sets there
which:
- never eventually appeared in a consumer product line, and
- never were mentioned in published in any LEGO advertising, and
- contain sensitive LEGO-internal information
?
From the looks of it (looking up about 10 of the sets at random), the answer
looks like 'no' since each image in the DB is a highly-cropped scan showing
simply a photo of the box -- nothing sensitive or secret. I'll go through
them in more detail tomorrow. Maybe others can have a look too and see if
there's anything questionable.
Thanks for bringing it up,
--Todd
