What caught my attention was:

Hrmmm, I saw that in a very (hopeful) different way.

Maybe a semi Lego-sanctioned parts source?

Nah...

I agree. In all likelihood, no. They are very protective. But I find it very
interesting that TLG has let LDraw hang around this long - it obviously copies
their own pieces, not just 2x4's: IMO, a flagrant violation of their
copyrighted pieces. But it's darn useful though.

I'm hoping this "Fitness Programme" translates into no more Town Jr. sets.

Also, demand may determine price, but forget that for now (because demand
obviously is down), lower prices for a smidge of time, and put quality back
into set design.
