Matthew is absolutely right.  Many companies try to take their trademark
nonsense way too far, usually without legal basis.  I remember a recent • case
(perhaps relevant here, noting Matthew's web address) where Toys'R'Us • was
going after a collecting site, toys-r-gus, because of the name • *similarity*.
Yikes, who'd be stupid enough to get them confused?  And since when can • you
trademark English languages words?  Much of it is simply corporate • bullying,
it would be a shame if Lego were a part of it.

Don't they make a fuss about anything with a back-to-front R in it?
