How exactly will it make any difference (assuming some kid puts the image and
word on the computer together with a place they can get info) if some kid asks
his Dad "hey, what is LUGNET" and his Dad answers, "I dunno." ?
Without the URL this is mostly worthless. I'm sure a few random people may go
far enough to type in LUGNET in their browsers (and I just did this on a fresh
install of Win98 with IE5 and, believe it or not, just "lugnet" brought up
IE's search pane on the left and Lugnet's main page on the right) but how many
more people would try to go to Lugnet if the actual URL had been there?
And how much happier would Todd & Suz be if their trademark weren't tossed
around like it didn't mean anything in a mag where TLC gives the Lucas
trademarks the respect they deserve (and the respect their continued good
relationship demands)?
