So Ashley can no longer post in the legoland thread? If so, I do not see why
not - he gave us good information and it would not belong in any other
threads - and it was official lego(land) information. And what about the
lego guy posting in the bionicale masks thread (spelling - I know it sucks)?
If I am reading this correctly, and I may not be - seeing it is really late
at night for me - but why restrict them in this way? I know you do not want
posts in threads where they do not belong - so why make them give out a
personal email, which they may not want to do so they can post offical
lego(land) posts? I just see no need for any restrictions on Lego workers.

(...) Yea, what about LEGO employees responding to questions in other groups for official purposes? What about lugnet.announce.lsahs? What prompted this change? Frank (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.general)
  Re: Official vs. unofficial LEGO postings
 
(...) According to someone who worked for Ashley at LEGOLAND California, Ashley doesn't actually work for LEGO anymore. If other LEGO employees wish to post there officially, we'll reexamine the issue. (...) Try not to think of it as a restriction (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.general)
