(...) Are you saying you would not post the pictures as you want to keep your copying antics secret, or because we’d not be interested? (...) The only problem I have with people copyrighting their own designs is that we have all most all benefited (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) I think it would be kept secret because it would bring out a lot of bad blood. I mean, come on...if you want one of my sets, buy it. It's not like I am selling them for a excessive amount, when you start looking at the parts prices I have paid (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.general)

Fred has an extensive LEGO collection already, though, and has all the parts he needs. 2) Fred sits down with a (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
