several questions about it. I'll report back with what they say.

| (...) Ah. Interesting. When does something shade over from being a design or decoration to a work of art? Theoretically, if I copy a work of art, even if I get it exactly right, it's a forgery... If Lego Bricks are the medium, is that still true? Is (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)
