Did you find out the story behind how it happened?  I hope that if the
"graphic artist trying to help us" story was true, they didn't get canned
for it.

The people we spoke with said they believed one of their graphic artists had
innocently included the logo as a way to recognize LUGNET as an important site
for the LEGO enthusiast community.  Their usual procedure is to run a mock-up
by the legal department prior to press, but this check inadvertently slipped
through the cracks.  They agreed that they had made a mistake, apologized for
the oversight, and agreed to do what they reasonbly could to prevent it from
happening again, as well as to issue a corrective statement in the next issue.
We have this in writing as well as on verbal agreement.

Since the buck stops at the legal department and that's whom we were speaking
with, I'm pretty sure nobody lost their job.

I had been wondering when i would receive the summer catalog was as it sounded
like i was the only who hadn't received it yet.  Well it seems mine did
arrive, but my wife hid it.  She bought my birthday present from it, and
didn't want me to get any ideas.  She got me the Soccer bundle.  Afterwards
she gave me the catalog.  Also, i received the May/June 2000 Mania Magazine.
On the back page under the address label is printed "LUGNET AND THE LUGNET
LOGO ON PG 6 ARE TRADEMARKS OF TODD S. LEHMAN AND SUZANNE D. RICH".  Looks
like they have finally given recognition.
