On the one hand I agree with you. On the other hand, I see no reason to
not discuss TLC's policy. There is no reason to shut down discussion
just because Kevin Loch has made a final decision (I would also hope
that his decision is flexible if it becomes apparent that there is not a
legal issue - though he may still chose to continue to not include
current sets, but then in that case, we also should consider supporting
someone else who decides to put up a different web site).
